Course Requirements (see note 1):

Notes:

1. If students did not complete MARK 1120 (or its equivalent) before starting the program, then they must take MARK 1120 in the first term. All other courses in the table have been listed in the recommended order for students to take them. To complete the program 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
• Understand which courses have additional minimum grade requirements in the prerequisites.
• While C- is the normal minimum grade needed to be achieved in a pre-requisite course, some courses require higher grades in the pre-requisite course.
• Students must know which courses require higher grades in the pre-requisite course so that they can achieve the necessary grade.
• If students do not obtain the required grade in a pre-requisite course, students must retake the pre-requisite course to earn the grade required

2. To meet this requirement, it is recommended for student to take CSIS 1180 as it is geared for marketing students, but students may also take CSIS 1280 or a website-related substitute approved by the Marketing Program Coordinator.

3. Students who would like to find out more about Communications courses or need assistance with registration are asked to email the Communications Department Chair or Marketing Program Coordinator. In order to progress in the program, students may substitute an upper-level Marketing course for one CMNS course.

4. Student may take COBA Internship courses in place of the Upper-Level Marketing Elective. 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.
