Degree Philosophy
"Canadians are uniquely positioned to be excellent marketers, and many of our Diploma program graduates have become very successful in their industry, and have credited Douglas College with developing their initial marketing capabilities.  Many graduates have gone on to get a bachelor's degree, which is expected in the industry for professional marketing positions - and many have asked us if we could develop a degree program.  We have the capabilities, the commitment, and the savvy to create a marketing degree option, and it seems like the logical extension of our current marketing options."
