      Douglas College has become the only Canadian postsecondary institution to make a list of the top sales schools in North America.

      According to a Douglas College news release, the Ohio-based Sales Education Foundation restricts the list to schools that offer three sales-specific courses and sales internships to students.

      Douglas College offers three such courses as well as sales internships to those seeking a diploma in marketing.

      More than 20,000 full-time and part-time students attend Douglas College campuses in New Westminster and Coquitlam.

      One of its most famous graduates is businessman Frank Giustra, a mining entrepreneur and founder of Lionsgate Films.

      Giustra, who funds scholarships at Douglas College, is a friend of former U.S. president Bill Clinton.

      Together, they formed the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership, which assists social enterprises in India and South America.
