Advertising Careers
Your Story. Your Future. Your Edge.
Think bigger, write smarter and create ideas that move people.
Advertising goes beyond persuasion—it’s storytelling that gets noticed, shapes culture and drives change. A minor in advertising positions you in the mind of future employers as someone who communicates clearly, thinks creatively and turns ideas into action. You’ll build a professional portfolio and gain hands-on experience with partners like Big Brothers Big Sisters, the Green Bay Packers and WBAY-TV.
