<p>Looking through the list of schools for advertising, I was really surprised when Creativity (like THE major creative advertising magazine publication) held their first ever ranking of advertising programs...</p>

<p>And what did I see on the top?</p>

<p>Not the Ivys..
Not top 50s..
but..</p>

<p>..VCU???</p>

<p>Heck, of the top 5 advertising schools they ranked, I have heard of none of them until now. What are your thoughts on this? Should the magazine get as much credence as say, the other top ranked schools like Texas-Austin, Univ of Illinois, and Michigan State?</p>

<p>Most elite schools (read Ivy-plus, top 25) don't really have advertising programs.</p>

<p>Yeah advertising isn't a major at any of the top 25 as far as I know.</p>
