Program description
Advertising is one of the most fascinating, creative, and unusual occupations. We teach students how to comprehend the consumer mind and create marketing communications messages that reach and influence target consumers. Do you consider yourself a "people person"? Do you enjoy digital media and everything online? Are you a good communicator who enjoys brainstorming, persuasion, and the creative side of business? Advertising could be beneficial to you.
This program offers incredible experiential learning opportunities and small class sizes to prepare students for a fascinating future in advertising and marketing communications, where labor shortages exist in major cities. This means there will be plenty of work possibilities!
Your abilities will be honed in an Apple-based communications center, where you will have access to the most up-to-date industry tools, such as MAC OS apps, Final Cut Pro digital video editing software, Microsoft Office for Mac, and the Adobe Creative Cloud suite of products.
