Creative Industries Management (CIM) is a two-term post-graduate certificate program in the Pilon School of Business at Sheridan College. CIM students come from a variety of creative domains, including among others film, television, photography, game design, graphic design, advertising, music, fashion design, theatre, and comedy. They are learning how creative industries are best developed, financed and managed. Students must complete a capstone project - either a project of their own design or working with an external client. We are actively seeking potential clients who may have projects suitable to our diverse range of students.
