Retail Marketing Certificate Program (RMCP)
This program offers the student some unique options for those interested in the retail marketing side of business and can be a stand-alone pathway to an exciting career in retail marketing or it can also be used as 30 credits toward the Business Administration diploma program.
Our instructors bring practical, up-to-date business knowledge to the classroom, sharing the expertise that has made them successful in the business community. Class size is limited, which allows faculty to maintain direct contact with all of their students. This program integrates classroom study with related on-the-job experience and skills.
Upon successful completion of the RMCP program, a student could then go on to complete the Business Administration Diploma requirements taking the courses listed in year two of the Business Administration diploma program. Upgrade of Math or English may be required.
Students who ladder into the Business Administration diploma program from the Retail Marketing certificate program will be required to take three additional School of Business electives if they continue on to years 3 and 4 of the Bachelor of Business Administration degree program.
