Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Marketing

The Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Marketing is designed for those who hold a bachelor’s degree in a program other than business or marketing. In two-years, students will gain a foundational knowledge of business principles and practices, as well as taking courses focused on marketing.

More than simply advertising, marketing is about product design, placement, promotion, and ensuring availability in the market. While theory and practical application are foundational to this program, creativity is also an integral element. You will use creative skills in areas of market research, digital content creation and organization, communications, branding and professional sales.
