Overview

In today’s digital age, marketing and sales have become important skills in the workplace. By adding the Marketing Minor to your degree, you’ll graduate with these important skills that will make you stand out in the job market. You’ll take marketing courses in Personal Selling, Promotional Strategy, Marketing Research, Buyer Behaviour, Digital Marketing, Customer  Relationship Management and more.  At the end of the minor you’ll take the Marketing Practicum, where you’ll build a marketing strategy and create marketing materials for a for-profit or non-profit organization.   

In order to take the Marketing Minor, you must be enrolled in a bachelor’s program at Douglas College that is not the Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing.

Program Requirements

Curriculum Framework
  • This minor is available for all degree students, except those receiving a BBA in Marketing.

  • 15 credits upper level coursework required
  • Courses taken as part of another credential can still be used to meet the requirements for this minor.  For example, students taking the BBA Finance are required to take MARK 1120 for their major, but this course would also satisfy the requirements for this minor and contributes three credits towards this minor's 24 required credits.
