Advertising is a discipline that combines strategic thinking, creativity, communication and science with potential career paths through advertising agencies and commercial organisations. The Advertising major includes creative strategy, design elements, channel planning and specific communications research to develop and showcase a student’s individual strengths. The major addresses the discipline as a communication specialism rather than a sub-section of a marketing plan.
