Degree Philosophy
"The
marketing degree at Douglas College is going to provide students an opportunity
to continue their studies in the same student-oriented and supportive
environment that they have come to expect at Douglas College. Increased
globalization is forcing the Canadian labor force to re-train and recreate a
competitive advantage which is going to have to come from an educated
workforce. Our students are ready to take on that challenge and at Douglas
College we are confident we will be able to deliver the education that is going
to provide students with job ready skills for the new economy."
