Advertising and public relations are distinct fields; these programs help students prepare for positions in advertising agencies and departments, media sales and management, advertising production and design, public relations agencies and departments, and organizational and employee relations.

Although students in advertising are primarily oriented toward either the creative or management side of the business, they essentially take the same courses in advertising. Creative students usually minor in liberal arts areas such as English and art. In addition to the required liberal arts minor, management students usually complete their second minor in a business area such as marketing.

Advertising students take the following required courses. Students should check the prerequisites for each course.
