Advanced Certificate in Marketing
The Advanced Certificate in Marketing is designed for professionals who wish to prepare for, or advance within, such fields as marketing, product development, product/account management, marketing communications, sales and sales promotion, buying, and distribution. It provides students with an understanding of consumer behavior, consumer markets, industrial and institutional markets, and communications.
Elective courses, beyond the 24 credit requirement, are available to students who wish to develop specialized skills in business communications, sports marketing, retail management, fashion merchandising, convention and events management, graphic arts and other areas.
The 24 credit program can be completed during evenings and weekends. A maximum of two three-credit courses completed during the last ten years may be applied toward the Certificate in lieu of equivalent required courses. All students must demonstrate computer competency or meet the requirement by completing Computer Applications (MIS 101). Students may complete an optional internship (MGMT 475) to acquire practical work experience.
