"I live about two hours away from any college in rural Wisconsin. Plus, I am married with a young son. When I decided to attend college, I needed a program that was flexible to my schedule. I was happy to see DCTC offered a fully online degree in Business Marketing. Now, I work for a medical facility organizing its marketing strategies and operations."

"I spent a little time at a four-year college and decided it wasn't for me right away. That's when I enrolled at DCTC. The classes were challenging and when I was ready, I started an internship with the St. Paul Saints. When I finished my internship, I wanted to continue with sports marketing and started another internship with the Minnesota Twins. I was able to land a job with the team in marketing and sales when the internship was finished. Now I am continuing on for my four-year degree."

Sheryl adds, "DCTC is a great place for the person who is working toward their career goals and still needs to work. For flexible classes on campus and online, the college has great programs to pursue."

"When I decided to finish my education in my late 20's, a single mother with a child- I tried to find the best school to fit my needs. I had decided on marketing as my field of interest from a previous occupation, but didn't know where to start. I was sitting in an office one day and spotted a Dakota County Technical College catalog and much to my amazement it was exactly what I was looking for. Online Classes! Night Classes! A wide variety of marketing classes to pick from. Because of my interest in Design I chose the A.A.S. Marketing Design Program.
Later I got in touch with Carie Statz, marketing instructor at DCTC. She was very knowledgeable and eager to answer my questions and discuss what paths I might choose. I was nervous about starting online classes- she reassured me of my potential and urged me to try. I'm glad she did, because it was the best thing I ever did. Not only did I learn, but I learned on MY time- with the flexibility I needed.
Before I knew it I had studied marketing subjects all the way from general marketing courses to international marketing and to design websites. I feel I can get any marketing position I want with the skills I have attained. I don't know where I would be today without the instructor's encouragement and the flexibility of Dakota County Technical College! I am proud to be a graduate."
