Prerequisite Courses
Many of our applicants have never taken a course in advertising and enter with degrees from other fields. That is not a problem. You can apply to the program even if you have absolutely no background in advertising, however you must complete the following four prerequisites early in your program or prior to enrollment:
- Strategic Advertising Management
- Media Management
- Foundations of Marketing
- A statistics course
In some cases these courses may be waived if the student has taken a similar course with substantially identical content.
