Overview
The field of marketing communications studies how to create, construct, communicate, and supply value to customers in ways that meet the goals of an organization while applying modern digital trends in the marketplace. CWI's Marketing Communications program offers a wide range of marketing and business courses including marketing, communications, advertising, management, financial analysis, accounting, and business plan development. This intense classroom study is supplemented with real-world projects for companies in the community. If students choose to complete the Associate of Applied Science or Advanced Technical Certificate option, they will have the opportunity to build a personal portfolio of their work and apply their skills and knowledge during a semester-long internship.
"Professionals love the students who come out of our Marketing program” says Marketing Communications faculty Dan Garrity. “That's because they know our graduates have been exposed to current industry standards and learn current workforce expectations. The curriculum stays up to date by us staying in touch with our alumni who work in the field right now. Their input, along with that of our technical advisory committee comprised of industry professionals and leaders, is what guides our academic focus. Perhaps the best thing about a CWI Marketing degree represents is the ability to demonstrate how to solve complex challenges with creative solutions; and to deliver results, not excuses."
Note: If you are planning on seeking a four-year degree (or greater) in Marketing Communications, please refer to the Associate of Arts in Business degree or meet with an Advisor to discuss your education and career goals.
