Advertising/Marketing/PR?

<p>What schools are best known for Advertising/Marketing/PR programs? Which have the most reputable ones?</p>

<p>I'm interested in Advertising & Marketing in both the designing side and business side. Both aspects intrigue me and I'd love to be well-rounded. </p>

<p>Also, I know Marketing may be more business-y & Advertising is more communications/design, does this mean I have to double major? (Doesn't matter if I do, but I want to focus on Advertising design/pr... just wish that there was a program that covered both aspects)</p>

<p>And if it helps, I would be applying as a transfer student in Fall 2012.
Location doesn't matter but preferably in or near a big city. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Bump to add - I’m separating my lists again to reaches & matches soo I’d like a variety of more selective schools and schools that are generally less selective, sorta deal.</p>

<p>Maybe take a look at SMU (Southern Methodist)??</p>

<p>If the whole Texas atmosphere floats your boat.</p>

<p>Boston University</p>

<p>bump -
thanks guys ^^ are there any more? perhaps one that someone personally recommends?</p>

<p>Look at Chapman University
Syracuse University
Emerson College</p>

<p>Emerson is what first came to mind for me. But I think most state flagships have good programs too.</p>

<p>*The public relations program at The University of Alabama is ranked second in the nation according to new rankings produced and published in PRWeek Magazine. Alabama is the highest ranked university that offers both graduate and undergraduate programs.</p>

<p>This marks the second year that PRWeek has ranked education programs and the second year that UA’s PR program has been recognized as one of the top five programs. This year UA is ranked second only to New York University. NYU offers a graduate program only.*</p>
