Program Overview
Level up your marketing game at Centennial College with the Marketing - Digital Engagement Strategy graduate certificate. This two-semester program turns you into a digital pro, covering everything from data and content strategy to paid media through flexible on-campus, hybrid, or evening classes. You'll master tools like Google Ads and Meta Blueprint through hands-on training from industry experts, all while building a serious edge with an optional 4-month co-op.
The highlight? A Capstone Project where you tackle a real-world business challenge to create portfolio-ready work before you even graduate. Between guest speaker sessions, networking events, and a free CMA membership that fast-tracks you to becoming a Chartered Marketer, you'll be connected to leaders from brands like Google and Mercedes-Benz. It’s the ultimate way to bridge the gap between student and pro.
