<p>Im an incoming freshman and im kind of interested in the psychology behind advertising. Which of these two majors focus on that (if they do at all)? What is the difference between them in terms of course load, subject matter, after-college prospects, etc?</p>

<p>Well, Marketing is a business degree, while Advertising is a communications degree. Check out the courses required for both degrees and pick the one that’s most fits your interest. Marketing includes courses in consumer behavior (MAR 3503), while Advertising has classes in consumer and audience analytics. Both allow you to take electives, and you can choose ones in psychology. </p>
