Gain core skills you need to excel in fast-paced marketing organizations.
Program Overview
Marketing lectures supported by experiential learning
At Sheridan, we believe the best way to learn is by doing. Put your new marketing skills to work through collaborative assignments, hands-on applications, case analyses and industry projects. When you graduate, you’ll have first-hand knowledge of various marketing concepts, including analysis, planning, selling, report writing, graphics, presentations, social media and promotion.
Build a foundation of general business knowledge
Marketers are the heart of business, working in tandem with many areas of their companies. You’ll learn about those areas during a foundational first year, studying topics such as accounting, finance, human resources and communications. Understanding your company’s strategies and challenges will help you write better marketing plans and recommend actions to keep your organization competitive.
Learn from experienced professors in small classes
Work closely with marketing experts who have decades of industry experience! Our business professors bring real-world perspective to the classroom. They’ll support your learning in classes that are typically capped at 40 students — an ideal number for fostering a dynamic and diverse environment.
Earn your Professional Sales Certificate
As a marketing student at Sheridan, you'll have the chance to earn a professional certificate from the Canadian Professional Sales Association (CPSA). If you complete five core courses that align with the CPSA Competency Framework, you'll be eligible to apply for the Professional Sales Certificate from the CPSA.
Get access to resources from the Canadian Marketing Association
All Sheridan students can sign up for membership with the Canadian Marketing Association (CMA) by using their Sheridan email address. The CMA provides access to:
- Exclusive events and member pricing
- Professional development opportunities
- Exclusive content, including guides, whitepapers and research reports
- Networking opportunities with the top marketing talent in Canada
- CMA NXT postsecondary career planning resources
This program meets the educational prerequisite needed for entry to the CMA's Chartered Marketer program.
Extracurricular opportunities
The Sheridan marketing experience extends beyond the classroom. You'll have the opportunity to get involved in a variety of extracurricular activities and student-run organizations such as the Marketing Association, Business Council and Sheridan Student Union. You can also join other business students in Enactus and Toastmasters clubs, and you'll have the opportunity to represent the college at events such as the Ontario Colleges Marketing Competition (OCMC).
Study in Brampton or Mississauga
All courses in our two-year Business Marketing diploma program are offered at both our Davis Campus in Brampton and our Hazel McCallion Campus (HMC) in Mississauga. After you graduate, you can transfer directly into the final year of our Business Administration – Marketing advanced diploma program, in which all third-year courses are taught at HMC.
