I’m currently a high school junior, searching for colleges with the best advertising/marketing programs. Does anyone have any recommendations (excluding the obvious Ivy League schools) regarding schools known for these programs?
First of all, the Ivy League schools don’t have marketing, except for Wharton. Dyson doesn’t and the other Ivies prefer you major in a “traditional” subject, then work, then apply to an MBA.
Next, if you mean “top schools”, look at Babson, Bentley, Bryant, but also Miami-OH Farmer, Penn State Smeal (with double major in marketing/communication-advertising possible), UMiami, Case Western Reserve, Santa Clara, Northeastern, UMinnesota, SUNY Binghamton, SUNY Plattsburgh (surprisingly!), Fordham Gabelli Rose Hill (traditional marketing), Fordham Gabelli Lincoln Center (interdisciplinary + internships).
