Say About Us
I took the Digital Marketing and Social Media Management program and am now a Digital Content Specialist. Sundance College has given me a lot of options to make this education possible, especially as a mom who was still on maternity leave when I started. They have a systematic and approachable way of dealing with the student’s needs and queries from program inquiries (start point) to student loan repayment (endpoint). For me, Sundance College is one of Canada’s best colleges because they are serious about assisting students find jobs through their Career Services department.
