<p>I was recently accepted as a marketing major, but I’m now considering changing my major to advertising.</p>
<p>However, I don’t know much about the communications school other than the fact that the public relations major is REALLY good.</p>
<p>Can anyone give me some more information on the comm school and help me decide whether to keep my marketing major or to change it?</p>
<p>Also, if I change to an advertising major, I will minor in world business.</p>
<p>What do you see doing as a career?</p>
<p>I would really like to work in advertising. However, I want a degree that would allow me to do a broad range of jobs, increasing my chances of finding work. That’s why I applied as a marketing major.</p>
<p>Bump? Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Long time lurker, coming out: Be gentle! :)</p>
<p>I, too, would love any information you can provide on this major. I am especially interested to learn if it would be wise for my DD to minor in a business field. </p>
<p>I have two dd’s. One is a sophomore, happily engrossed at an OOS SEC school as an Education major (takes after her mom!). </p>
<p>The other, a senior, has been accepted at UA, and wants to major in communications/advertising. She was admitted as an OOS student. She is also considering another large school where the chant consists of 4 letters…</p>
<p>We have paid the enrollment fee and the housing deposit----you guys are awesome at providing information! Thank you!</p>
<p>DD’s stats are average:</p>
<p>*Top 8% of class (over 450 students)
*26 ACT
*Unweighted GPA 3.9/weighted 4.1</p>
<p>Thanks to advice we read from Mom2, she is taking the SAT on November 6, in an effort to qualify for a merit scholarship.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the wisdom you’ve provided----my DD and I have both learned SO much from our online friends at CC! :)</p>
<p>Hi and welcome!</p>
<p>I think minoring in business is good for any degree! :)</p>
<p>Have your D really practice the Math and CR sections…those are the only ones that really count for money! :)</p>

<p>Being a Calif native, the only school I can think of off the top of my head is UCLA…but that probably isn’t the school (or maybe UIUC??). LOL</p>
<p>Oh see, and I was thinking the O H I O chant where you make the letters with your arms :)</p>
<p>LOL…probably</p>
<p>RobD,</p>
<p>Where is your Tennessee VOL spirit??? While wearing orange, VOLS can also be spelled out with your arms. :)</p>
<p>Thanks for your input on advertising. I think right now we are just waiting to see which of these great schools she feels most comfortable with. Hmmmm…crimson or orange??</p>
<p>It certainly is making football season interesting!</p>
<p>Is there a VOLS cheer? I embarassingly admit that while my grad degree is from UT-K, I am an SEC novice and am trying to recover from 4 decades of living in NJ ;)</p>
