Meet Some of Our Students
Expanding career opportunities through pursuit of a graduate certificate
“Without having a formal education in the field, my knowledge was limited to my experiences. I wanted to learn more about marketing and earn a graduate certificate to provide myself access to more career opportunities in the future.” says Danielle Cochran, Graduate Certificate in Marketing'21
Q&A with Laura Dyduch, GCM'18
“The professors are captivating, they go beyond just teaching you the syllabus. Classes at D'Amore-McKim are like nothing I have ever experienced before. Not only do we learn things from the professor but they continually engage students in the conversation so that we all learn from each other as well” says Dyduch.
