Learner goals and capabilities

The Digital Marketing Fundamentals certificate program at WGU equips students with the skills to enhance and innovate digital marketing strategies for organizations. As part of this program, students participate in 40–80 hour project-based experiences designed to apply their learning in real-world business contexts.


What makes this program unique is that your project directly contributes to their certificate completion. You can view the full program syllabus here.


Each project can accommodate up to 5 students, who will self-assign to your project once they’ve completed their comprehensive foundational courses. Students can join on varying dates and will have 4–8 weeks to complete the project. Each student will produce the same final deliverable, meaning you’ll receive up to 5 unique versions of your requested asset—providing diverse insights and multiple actionable options for your business.


Students can conduct in-depth research on your company’s web presence, target audience, and products or services. Their contributions may include crafting digital marketing assets, analyzing current strategies, and proposing innovative improvements that you can implement right away. With a fresh perspective and up-to-date training, learners bring value and creativity to help boost your digital marketing efforts.
