E. D. Open­ended Comments from Alumni about Proposed Degree Programs
As many Marketing Management students come to Fanshawe after having completed BAs, I
believe that the Marketing Management Program preparation should be taken into
consideration when assessing advanced standing in a B Comm program. Many students with
past BAs and Graduate Certificates would likely not be willing to put years into completing a B
Comm. Further, I believe the full online delivery of the program would be very helpful for those
students who have left the London area to pursue career opportunities and have no current
plans to leave their position and return to London.
Be more up to date with the industry. Teach more about agency work. Focus on specific course
offerings. Allow students to concentrate their marketing focus by allowing students to choose
their own course instead of a set curriculum.
Excellent Idea! I would be interested in learning more. For those who have a 3 year diploma,
what level would they enter the program at And is part time study available for those who wish
to continue working during their studies.
Fanshawe should definitely offer applied degree programs. This will be in line with their
competition and provide more flexibility to their students. These programs will have to be
marketed to both the high school sector and also have the ability to transfer diploma students
and alumni back into their programs. I completely support this venture and it would have been a
huge advantage having this back in the day. Also feel like a focus on articulation agreements
would be fantastic to give their students as many pathway possibilities for advancement. Proud
alumnus!
Great idea, wish I could have done this program.
I already completed my degree abroad in Australia. If this option was in place when I wanted to
go back to school I would have completed my degree at Fanshawe. My experience at that school
was better than my university experience and the teachers are exceptional at Fanshawe. This is
such a brilliant idea and I can't believe it wasn’t thought of sooner!
I don't think it’s a bad idea but if people are going to commit 4 years to education they are going
to get a BMOS from UWO.
I like the direction you're going in.
I love the idea of a Bachelors degree. I am not interested in online learning. An online course is
no better to me then learning from a book. I don't learn from reading I need hands on examples
and experience.
I really agree with this business degree offering at Fanshawe College. I just wish it would be
offered early and not three years from now.
I think it is a great idea and it should be something offered to students to easily transfer course
credits from the three year program to complete their degree. Especially for previous graduates
who are currently in the workforce. I think it is a great opportunity for Fanshawe.
I think it is a very good idea because I, like a lot of students, am having a hard time finding a job
in our field. We were not properly prepared for the NKE and that has greatly affected us. The
cost of upgrading seems very high but the idea of online courses is appealing to me because it
allows me to keep a full time job.
