Description
The Digital Marketing Program is an 8-month certificate program that consists of 6 core modules that provide practical experience and information on skills necessary to succeed in the digital marketing industry.

The program is completely online. This means that participants can learn whenever they want and wherever they are. For this program, online does not mean alone.

There are no prerequisites for the program. Participants do not need prior experience and knowledge in digital marketing to start the program.
At the end of the program, participants will have created six professional learning artifacts (such as a comprehensive digital marketing plan and an email marketing campaign) that they can place into an e-portfolio for employers to review.
