What if you get your college Advertising/Marketing major from a non liberal arts or business school?
Filed Under Higher Education (University +)
Lalala asked:
I want to go to Emerson College and double major in Communications and Marketing/advertising, the 2nd of which is ordinarily a “Business major.” Am I putting myself at a disadvantage for that 2nd major because Emerson is not a business school. Will I look bad in comparison to job applicants who have a marketing major from a business school?

To be honest, where you went to school doesn’t really matter in Advertising. Neither does the degree you receive. People with Psychology degrees, English degrees, and Economics degrees have jobs in the Advertising field. The most important thing when applying for positions is your work experience. The best thing you can do while still attending school is to get internships. I had three internships while in school and learned more there than in my 4 years in college (with an Advertising degree). These internships are what Human Resource departments look at too.
Good luck!
