Classes are taught by both full-time and adjunct (part-time) faculty throughout the College. In either case, instructors have a minimum of a master’s degree in the field, and many have advanced degrees. Our instructional staff consists of professionals who have industry experience in (and are often currently engaged in) advertising, research, sales, retail and wholesale among other fields in the areas of both services and manufacturing. The combination of their real-world experience and a carefully constructed curriculum contribute to your success in marketing.

A full time student could complete the program in as little as four semesters; however, our flexible course schedule also lets you attend part time to accommodate your family and professional obligations.

FAQs
Is the program available on all campuses?
Yes; not only are most classes offered on all of the main campuses every year, there are also opportunities to participate in online learning.
What’s the difference between an AA and an AS?
The AS is a technical/career two year degree, while the AA is specifically designed to be the first two years of a four-year degree. While the main distinction still is that the AS focuses more on preparation for employment and the AA has more emphasis on general education, both degrees (and individual credits) are usually accepted toward four-year degrees.
How long does it take to complete the program?
That depends on how much time and effort you can spend on your studies. Generally, the program can be completed in two years if you enroll as a full-time student and have no academic setbacks, such as failing a class.
Will you accept transfer credits?
Yes, Broward College accepts transfer credits from accredited institutions. See your Advisor for specific details.
If I graduate, will I get a good job?
Hopefully! If you successfully complete the program, you will certainly have the skills you need to enter the workforce and be competitive, and that’s all any program should promise. Obtaining the most attractive jobs is a very competitive process, and you should do all you can to improve your job seeking/interviewing skills as you head out to begin looking for a position.
