PLAN YOUR PATH
Preparation, time and schedule
What this route covers
Study marketing within PCC's applied business offerings. Use projects to demonstrate communication and customer-analysis skills, and confirm the current elective sequence.
Before you apply
Review the Marketing course map and have an advisor evaluate prior credits and placement before registering.
Your complete timeline
2 years full-time. Prior credits, prerequisite placement and course availability can change your personal completion date.
Plan around the schedule
In-person, online and remote courses. Ask for the actual days, start times and required travel from Portland area · multiple course options. Online coursework does not necessarily make laboratories or placements remote.
Application and selection
Use the official Marketing page to review the current entry checklist. Ask whether a separate department application, selection process or cohort start applies before committing to enrollment.

Questions to take to an advisor
What projects and practical experience will I complete before graduation?
- Which required courses or placements are offered only once per year?
- Can you give me a written estimate covering every required term and practical expense?
- Which employment, transfer or licensing requirements remain after this award?
Published program length is not a personal completion estimate. Transfer credits, prerequisites, selection and course availability can change the timeline.
After the program
Combine marketing knowledge with statistics, research design and clear communication. Build work samples that show how you turn evidence into a business recommendation.
