Graduates of the advertising program at UT include some people with very impressive credentials, and they are employed in a wide range of jobs. A large percentage of them, as you might expect, have gone to work in advertising agencies. They are employed as account people, art directors, copy writers, media planners, media buyers, and researchers. Several have risen to the level of vice president, president, and even Chief Executive Officer of agencies. UT alums are currently working at each of the 20 largest agencies in the country, at several of the smaller "hot" shops, and at agencies of virtually every size and geographic location imaginable, including a variety of different countries.

Others have chosen to work in media sales. They have taken positions at newspapers, magazines, radio stations, television stations, etc., across the nation and around the world. Many have gone to the "client side," working for the businesses and other organizations that advertise. Still others have gone into advertising and marketing related positions, working in commercial production, sales promotion, public relations, event planning, and direct marketing. In addition, UT advertising graduates can be found teaching advertising in colleges and universities all around the world.
