Set yourself apart. Integrate your degree with a graduate certificate in Integrated Marketing Communications. This fast-paced and intensive program at Conestoga College prepares students to think strategically in the marketing communications field.
- To plan before communicating.
- To assess client needs.
- To know the target persona.
- To measure implementation.
Through a combination of class lessons, experiential assignments and real clients from the local business community, students grow to understand how to integrate marketing, public relations, advertising and digital into a comprehensive plan. They learn to connect the dots so that a more powerful and unified message is delivered on behalf of the client.
The program is an ideal cap to a university degree in communications, political science, English, journalism, or environmental studies. While specific courses in marketing are not essential, a university degree in other areas where course work has introduced a student to concepts of marketing are also a good fit. Students with some life experience who are looking for a credential that will be respected by business are also welcome.
