Marketing vs. Advertising

<p>Where I'm going next year gives everyone the same degree (Business Admin.) but you choose a track or a minor to go with it. I'm not really sure whether I should choose marketing or design or both.</p>

<p>Choosing one or the other would give me a lot more scheduling freedom, and I am more interested in the design minor.. I think!</p>

<p>I'm just all confused on this and all over the place, even though I don't have to decide for a while. Probably not til Junior year.</p>

<p>I have never heard of a "design" minor but based on your thread title I'll assume you mean advertising. If you are more interested in that then you should go for that. There are also creative marketing jobs which you would probably enjoy, but there are also non-creative marketing jobs like market research which are more quant-heavy that someone from a creative background will not enjoy.</p>

<p>Communication Design.. it's basically the all-creative, no numbers part of advertising.</p>

<p>And I'm very into the creative, I do like numbers but I cannot see myself working in research, etc.</p>
