Program Overview
In a time where consumers are more aware of marketing than ever, it’s important for professionals to create personalized content that is delivered across a variety of channels. But when budgets are limited, marketers must be strategic, and constantly evaluate campaigns to make data-driven decisions and calculate ROI.
Integrated Digital Marketing equips students with the necessary skills to create high-value material, identify opportunities in the digital realm, and track campaign performance. The three-course certificate program delves into personas, SEO, SEM, digital marketing, email, website, and social media strategies that will help professionals engage with their customers, drive sales, and boost buy-in from an executive team. All classes are taught by practicing professionals who have prestigious certifications, subject expertise, and a wealth of real-world experience, ensuring you’ll learn important, hands-on lessons.
A digital badge will be awarded upon completion. Badges can be digitally displayed anywhere to recognize attaining a new level of knowledge.
The integrated digital marketing certificate program is also offered at Penn State's location at the Navy Yard in Philadelphia.

As a self-proclaimed lifelong learner, I have taken many undergraduate and graduate courses, including the Integrated Digital Marketing certificate. The courses were packed with information that I have been able to immediately put to use. I am so glad to have the resources to refer to and reflect on as I continue to hone my skills. There was so much great content and expertise provided not only from the professor, but also current examples and knowledge from fellow classmates. We became a "learning family" and established friendships that will continue in the future.”
