Oakton's Marketing Management Program offers an associate in marketing management (A.A.S) and two certificates. An associate degree in marketing will help you pursue a career right after graduation. Or, you can continue your studies toward an advanced degree with the foundation gained here at Oakton. Our certificates offer students opportunities to gain new credentials quickly, gain new useful skills and build on previous business knowledge. The marketing courses required to earn certificates may also be applied to the associate degree.
Our associate degree in marketing management is composed of 60 semester hours, including general education. Refer to the IAI General Education Courses list for guidance in selecting general courses. Students are required to fulfill the major requirements listed below in addition to the general requirements.
Marketing is a blend of art and science, analysis and originality. The Marketing Certificate provides students with the opportunity to leverage creativity and strategic thinking to solve business challenges.
This comprehensive certificate encompasses principles of marketing, consumer behavior, professional selling, public relations, advertising, customer service, business marketing, internet marketing and brand marketing. The certificate allows students to gain a new credential quickly, to add many salable skills, and to build on previously obtained business knowledge.
The employment of accountants and auditors is projected to grow seven percent from 2020 to 2030, about as fast as the average for all occupations.
About 135,000 openings for accountants and auditors are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.
