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."
