Typically the level of education in marketing goes from certificate to diploma to degree. At START Marketing, we’d be looking for people with a degree level of education. We would even encourage working towards a masters’ degree for higher level consulting. I suggest you check for transferability between the three levels at Mount Royal. It would make sense to get a certificate, if that also gets you halfway to a diploma. Likewise if a diploma gets you halfway to a degree. That way you can get credentials as-you-go instead of waiting a full 4 years to get a degree.
