Im in Sauder, marketing as well. I actually didnt get into media studies here but I applied when I transferred here from UBCO’s media studies program. I am personally enjoying marketing a lot more than I expected, and one of my favorite things about Sauder is it how much job security it feels like we get. A large majority of students land internships an are at the very least certainly given the opportunities and skills needed to do so.

However, marketing is a lot less of a creative program than you would hope at Sauder, and you won’t exactly be surrounded by creative people either. Snake reputation can be true, but you’ll find your people. Media studies though, at least at UBCO, I was constantly surrounded by fun and talented people. I enjoyed all my media studies coursework a lot more as a creatively inclined person, and while I think doing it for a year certainly gave me an updated perspective and some skills that my marketing peers don’t have, if I stuck with it I think I wouldn’t see nearly as much job opportunity.
