DESCRIPTION

Marketing emphasizes competitive advantages of for-profit and not-for-profit organizations and examines the inter-relationships that exist among their customers or members, the competition, and internal resources. A key part of marketing consists of gaining insights into customer needs and then developing effective marketing strategies.

In the Marketing Certificate Program, students complete marketing courses followed by practical courses in sales and sales management, marketing management and small business management. In addition, they may choose specialized marketing courses in advertising, retailing, international marketing, selling and sales management, buyer behaviour and marketing research as electives.

Due to prerequisite and course scheduling considerations careful course planning is required. Students should consult an Educational Advisor when considering the Marketing Certificate. (The Certificate may be completed in two semesters dependent on course offerings).

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

The Marketing Certificate provides students with a thorough grounding in marketing. It is designed for students with business experience and for those who have earned a diploma or degree in another subject and wish to pursue or further their business careers. The Certificate provides students and graduates from programs such as computer information systems, engineering, fashion design, graphics, accounting, interior design, horticulture, public relations, and arts and science with job-ready business and marketing skills.
