One of the best things about the online marketing program at CBU was the flexibility involved in advancing in the material and learning at my own pace. I was able to learn the key terms involved in marketing and how to utilize them and intertwine them with real-world brands. Moreover, the online marketing program at CBU instilled in me how one can honor and glorify God through their work as a marketer.
