Every student enrolled in the
program will participate in a
360-degree assessment of their
leadership dispositions and
style, which will help them to
understand their strengths and
areas of opportunity for devel-
opment.
The master's in Integrated
Marketing Communications,
directed by Br. Basil Valente,
O.F.M., has been offered for
years in a classroom setting at
St. Bonaventure, but now is
also available in an online for-
mat.
"The IMC program has pro-
duced stellar graduates who
are working at top advertising
agencies and in the marketing
departments of some of the
world's most recognized
brands, such as Fisher Price
and Godiva Chocolatier. Two
graduates recently co-founded
their own marketing agency,
The Quilted Squirrel, in Ham-
burg, N.Y.," said Br. Basil."
The online IMC program can
be completed in two years, or
as little as one year if students
decide to take two classes at
the same time. It can also be
taken part time.
The 33-credit, two-year pro-
gram integrates the manage-
ment of all communications
and marketing tools to build
positive and lasting relation-
ships with consumers and
stakeholders on the local, re-
gional, national and interna-
tional levels.
St. Bonaventure is one of
only a handful of schools in
the United States that offers a
graduate program in Inte-
grated Marketing Communica-
tions.
IMC realigns communica-
tions efforts, not as single and
separate entities such as adver-
tising, public relations, direct
marketing, digital and social
media marketing, research
methods and business writing,
but as a strategic coordination
of a variety of communication
and marketing voices. Classes
will begin this fall in both pro-
grams.

ship or the Master's in Inte-
grated Marketing
