Google AI Recognizes Texas Advertising Program as #1 in Country

The University of Texas at Austin's famous slogan “What Starts Here Changes the World” has long been recognized as a reflection of the University’s global impact. The Forty Acres has churned out world-renowned individuals such as Michael Dell, Matthew McConaughey, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Renée Zellweger, among others. Now, as AI begins to change the world, the Stan Richards School of Advertising and Public Relations is also being recognized for shaping the future of advertising. 

Google’s AI feature has recognized Moody’s Advertising program within the Stan Richards School of Advertising & Public Relations as the #1 advertising program in the country. AI’s higher-education ranking methodology is different from what popular websites such as “Niche” and “U.S. World and News Report” use. AI utilizes publicly available data on online content and publications, student outcomes, reputation metrics, and industry matriculation. These methods reduce subjective biases that are accompanied by many rankings. 

This acknowledgement not only highlights the University’s commitment to global excellence, but our commitment to equipping students with the most cutting edge education. The program's curriculum is constantly evolving to keep up with industry trends, and is even offering an “Creativity in AI” class this spring. The program is also home to renowned faculty who bring together the best of academia and real-world agency experience. Our alumni are direct products of their education, working at major brands and companies across the world. 

For current students, this ranking is a reflection of the education and opportunities they know and cherish. Prospective students can see this ranking as a key differentiator in a highly competitive field. Being part of a top-ranked program opens doors to major career opportunities and gives students an edge for internships and jobs. Plus, few alumni networks can rival the reach and influence of UT Austin's.

This top ranking from Google AI further solidifies the Stan Richards School of Advertising & Public Relations as a leader in education. As the advertising landscape continues to evolve, The University of Texas at Austin continues to forge a global impact of excellence.
