Advertising

Dream It. Know It. Sell It.

Learn how to combine memorable copy, creative design and innovative direction to move consumers to action. Build a foundation in advertising for TV, radio, print and online with these Marquette advantages.

Just do it. Train your brain with writing practice in both advertising and PR. Work with layout and design programs such as InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator and multimedia software. And develop the flexibility you need to succeed in the ever-changing world of advertising.

Show your stuff. Pack your portfolio with samples and gain professional experience through classwork, club participation and competitions. Our students have won national recognition for proposals created for companies such as Saturn, Banc of America, Toyota, The New York Times, Pizza Hut, and Florida Tourism.

Make the connection. Milwaukee’s thriving ad community includes agencies big and small—and many of those professionals find their way into our classrooms, as teachers and guest speakers. What’s more, internships in Milwaukee, Chicago and across the country can open the door to full-time employment after graduation.
