Cert in Public Relations, Advertising, and Applied Communication

This technical diploma gives students a wide base in digital marketing. Topics include paid promotion, market research, data analysis, social platforms, customer relations and the coordination of messages across channels. It can be taken in person at the Downtown Milwaukee Campus or entirely online. The college highlights the career's favorable federal outlook as a reason to enter the field. Credits from the diploma carry over into the Marketing associate degree, so students may stop with the diploma or keep going toward a longer credential without losing progress. Terms begin in August and January. The program page gives neither a length of study nor a price, so prospective students should ask the college about both before applying. Applicants should plan their schedule around the format they choose.
