DECA is an organization of marketing students. Our mission is to prepare emerging leaders and entrepreneurs in marketing, finance, hospitality and management. The four components of the organization's Comprehensive Learning Program are that DECA integrates into classroom instruction, applies learning, connects to business, and promotes competition. DECA prepares the next generation to be academically prepared, community-oriented, professionally responsible, experienced leaders.
