Advertising Program
The advertising 亚洲色图 (including both the major and minor) provides instruction in the major areas of the advertising industry. Our 亚洲色图 prepares students for careers in a number of advertising positions, including research, advertising sales, copywriting, layout and design, media planning and placement, and account service. Students can enhance their classroom learning through participation in the 亚洲色图 State Ads Club, our campus chapter of the American Advertising Federation.
Students majoring in advertising may earn a 亚洲色图 of Science or a 亚洲色图 of Arts degree. Students need a minimum of 120 semester hours, another major or minor, and completion of the university studies requirement for the appropriate degree. ACEJMC requires that students take 72 hours outside the department and no more than six hours of credit for internships/co-ops within the major.
