Enrolling in an Advertising Master's Degree Program
People applying for admission to a master's degree program in Advertising need to hold a 4-year bachelor's degree. Most programs allow applicants who have an undergraduate degree in a field other than Advertising to enroll if they meet the admissions requirements of the school offering the program.
Students in a graduate-level Advertising program who have a bachelor's degree in a different subject often have to take introductory Advertising classes in their first semester of graduate school and thus, such programs take longer to complete. Most programs also require students to have taken courses in statistics and marketing by their second graduate semester. Many programs require incoming students to meet with an advisor before starting their classes to plan their course sequence and ensure the students choose the proper degree option.
