From teaching one of the very first courses in the iMBA™ program when it launched in 2016, Professor Aric Rindfleisch has been a defining voice in digital marketing education.
His three Coursera MOOCs—Marketing in a Digital World, The Digital Marketing Revolution, and The 3D Printing Revolution—are embedded in the iMBA and have collectively reached 750,000 learners worldwide, ranking among the most widely taken online marketing courses in the world.
For iMBA students, this philosophy is already embedded in the classroom, where cutting-edge technology meets human judgment, and marketing is treated not just as a business function, but as a reflection of how people live, choose, and connect.
