Advertising

  • At Minnesota State University Moorhead, we think of Advertising as the “can do” major. Think about your favorite TV commercial. With this degree, you could be the one who writes the ad, shoots the video or decides where it’s going to run. You could come up with the idea for a hilarious campaign, like Snickers’ “You’re not you when you’re hungry” or GEICO’s “So easy a caveman can do it.” If you like the challenge of brainstorming unique ways to showcase products and services, there’s a place for you here.
