Marketing (Minor)
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.

Notes:
1. The courses in the table have been listed in the recommended order for students to take them and there are pre-requisites required that are not listed in the course requirements table above. To complete the minor efficiently, students need to:
- Make note of courses that are not offered every term to adjust their plans accordingly,
- Take all pre-requisites prior to attempting to register for a given course, and
- Ensure they meet all pre-requisite requirements for upper-level courses.
2. COBA 4885 and COBA 4886 internship courses provide the opportunity for students to gain unpaid work experience and course credit. Students who would like to find out more about the internship should send an email to the careercentre@douglascollege.ca at the start of their program. Please note that not all COBA courses are internship courses. Thus, if students want to take a COBA course other than COBA 4885 or COBA 4886, they should confirm with the program coordinator or department chair about that COBA course’s eligibility.
