Marketing (Post-Degree Diploma)

2. To earn the Canadian Professional Sales Association (CPSA) Sales Certificates, students will want to take MARK 2150 Personal Selling, MARK 3340 Promotional Strategy, and MARK 4390 Professional Selling. For information on additional requirements for credentials, students will want to contact the CBA Director of Business Programs or the industry body. 

3. Students must successfully complete MARK 3340, Mark 4440, and MARK 4441 prior to taking MARK 4483. As MARK 1120 is a prerequisite for MARK 3340 and MARK 4441, students must allow a minimum of three terms to complete the program if they choose MARK 4483 (Marketing Practicum).

4. COBA internship courses (e.g., COBA 4885 and COBA 4886)provide the opportunity for students to gain unpaid work experience and course credit. Students who would like to find out more about internship should send an email to the careercentre@douglascollege.ca at the start of their program.  Please note that internship placements are competitive, and students who are not successfully placed in an internship will need to take MARK 4483 (Marketing Practicum).
