<p>My friend is a junior in high school and she was asking me if there are any summer programs for her, she wants to major in like advertising/ marketing....is there anything over the summer or when shes a junior or going to be a senior....?</p>
<p>foxiechick9, while I cannot give you the name of a "marketing/advertising" program, and while I do not know the background of your friend (cause the program I am about to talk about is geared toward minorities and the underrepresented in business... is your friend female? Just a guess, but that might help)</p>
<p>I can tell you about the LEAD Program in Business--note: it is
It covers all areas of business, but if your friend is interesting in marketing/advertising, they will do all they can to assist in not only in him/her being prepared to enter a top-level business school with the mindset of being a marketing major, but LEAD will also give you the resources and tools to expand his/her outlook... help your friend understand the finances and HR and operational management that will assist the marketing department</p>
<p>I am a LEAD alumnus, and my group at the Illinois College of Business had the pleasure of meeting some of the marketing teams at PepsiCo (150K company) in downtown Chicago. I had a one-on-one with a Penn grad (English major--I believe--go figure) who was so cool and open about revealing details about her Alma Mater, working for PepsiCo in the QTG or Quaker-Tropicana-Gatorade division, and answering all my questions.</p>
<p>Yeah, I could go on & on, but first I want you to check out the LEAD Program in Business thread. I will bump it so it will be higher up on the board.</p>
<p>Here is a quick little summary on their website:</p>
