Program Testimonials

In high school, I was enrolled in the International Baccalaureate program. The majority of my teachers suggested that I should go into a program at the University because it was the right and common path for students who were enrolled in this program. However, I decided to enroll in the Advertising and Marketing Communications Management program at St.Clair College instead. Choosing this program was the smartest decision I ever made and it was much better than I thought it would be.

On top of the classes, the program gives you the opportunity to work with real clients. The professors of the program themselves started an agency to give students a chance to gain real world experience with real clients. Being able to have experience working with real clients gave me the upper hand and confidence during the interview process once I graduated, as well as gave me the opportunity to expand my resume that was almost blank before I started the program.

The Advertising program at St. Clair College is the real deal. You will be taught by professors who are genuinely experienced in their field. They know what they're doing and they know how to teach it. They actually care about their students and their success, unlike other schools which make you feel like you are just another student number. During my time in the program, I always felt that I had something valuable to learn everyday about the industry. It was a place where you were encouraged to ask questions and learn from your mistakes. It was the best education that I didn’t expect I would get.

The program has given me an extensive range of skills and knowledge that I use every day as an SEO specialist. The curriculum goes “a mile wide and an inch deep,” in which students are given knowledge of the entire advertising landscape; allowing each student to find an aspect of advertising that resonates with them.

St. Clair College's Advertising and Marketing program is by far the greatest decision I made in my life. This program prepared me for the industry, how to talk to clients, how to position value in front of clients, digital advertising, and how to be creative. Throughout the program, you learn the latest and most relevant up to date content that relates to the industry. Nothing is outdated. Along with content that has a lot of value, students are supported by professors who have A LOT of industry experience working with different brands and businesses. ”

Firstly, I want to give a huge thank you to all of the faculty of the Adv & Marketing Program at St.Clair for going above and beyond during the entire duration of the program. I would not have had a lot of the opportunities that I have been able to have without you getting us into the HubSpot courses and additional digital pieces.

The foundational knowledge we learned initially (in the first and second year of the program) has proven to meet the requirements of many small to medium-sized business owners as well as the agencies that I have been able to communicate with or work for.

The Advertising and Marketing Communications Management program gave me all the tools, confidence, and professional skills I needed to be successful in my field. This could be said about numerous post-secondary programs; however, what makes this program different is the coordinators' dedication to having the most up-to-date curriculum available.
