Program details
Overview
This eight-month Marketing advanced diploma program prepares graduates who already hold a two-year diploma or university degree for careers across media, public relations, communications, event planning and advertising, working for corporate, non-profit or charitable organizations. Coursework develops skills in preparing communications materials, developing and implementing marketing strategies, organizing interviews and press conferences, and coordinating events, alongside broader business topics such as international marketing, consumer behaviour and social media marketing. The program emphasizes critical thinking, ethical and socially responsible decision-making, teamwork and business communication. Instruction takes place in computer labs, regular classrooms and a lecture theatre, supplemented by online learning resources, industry networking and guest speakers. Prospective students are advised to have taken an introductory marketing course beforehand. The program suits students who already hold a diploma or degree and want a focused, applied marketing credential leading to roles in sales, advertising, promotion, marketing management, retail management or market research.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The general requirement here is Assiniboine's institution-wide admission and English language proficiency policy, set out in the college's own admission requirements page. On top of it, this programme asks for a two-year diploma or university degree; applicants are recommended to first complete an introductory marketing course such as MKTG-0044 Marketing Principles before starting. English is the language of instruction at Assiniboine; applicants educated outside Canada or from a non-exempt country must meet the college's English language proficiency requirement, and for this programme an IELTS score of 6.0 with no sub-score below 5.5, or equivalent, is acceptable.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply directly to Assiniboine College; most programs carry no fixed application deadline and are assessed first-complete, first-served, though competitive-entry programs such as Practical Nursing require a supplemental application and, for Nursing, a CASPer assessment. International applicants may apply up to one year before a program's start date; the college publishes no fixed international deadline, but says many programs form waitlists well ahead of the start date, so early application is encouraged. Admission is effectively rolling: applications are accepted until a program's seats and waitlist are full rather than against a calendar cut-off. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
