Hands-On. Career-Focused. Built for Today’s Marketers.
In my classes at Friends University, marketing isn’t just something we read about, it’s something we do.
Experiential learning is at the core of everything. Students develop marketing campaigns for real clients, manage social media strategies, pitch business ideas, and dive into research projects that make an actual impact. Every assignment is designed to apply what we’re learning in class to what’s happening in the real world.

Certifications are part of the curriculum. My students graduate not only with a degree, but also with credentials that employers value, like Google Analytics, HubSpot, and Meta Blueprint. These tools aren’t extras, they’re essential. Students in my program graduate with the coveted Digital Marketing Associate certification from one of 12 Digital Marketing Institute and American Marketing Association certified marketing programs in the US!

Every class connects to real-world experience. Whether we’re revitalizing the rural community of Belle Plaine, blueprinting the customer experience for Exploration Place, or developing strategies for Intrust Bank’s Internation Trade Division, students learn by doing. Guest speakers, client projects, AI-driven tools, and live presentations all reinforce one goal: to make every student job-ready and industry-aware and ready to start their career the moment they graduate.  

Because marketing isn’t theory, it’s action. Marketing matters and the best way learn it is to live it.
