Interested in learning how brands stay relevant with today’s consumers? In Â鶹¹ÙÍø Providence’s Marketing & Advertising bachelor of science program, learn the theory behind great marketing campaigns — and conduct the market research to create them.
Gain a deep understanding of consumer behavior and dive into how brands make a lasting impression. Learn how to analyze brand elements and emotional cues — and how messaging makes an impact across platforms.
It takes a range of skills and personalities to execute and track the performance of a successful marketing campaign. Uncover your strengths — whether you’re a market researcher, a strategist, a content creator, an influencer or a social media expert. As you progress, you will discover how to integrate into a dynamic team across disciplines in advertising, public relations, marketing and media buying.
Jake knew he liked marketing but found a passion for analytics at Â鶹¹ÙÍø. “Students can get involved with real-world clients and be in a professional environment while getting credit, he explains. [You get] the feel of real life experience of what you can expect post graduation.” When Jake isn’t playing intramural volleyball, he’s helping his peers expand their market research skills.
Apply your skills through options like a semester-long internship, study abroad or a Directed Experiential Education (DEE) project with a regional client or nonprofit. Compete in the National Intercollegiate Sales Competition (NISC) or join the American Advertising Federation (AAF) Ad Club and Ad Team, where multidisciplinary student teams research and create a campaign for a real-world client — then take that campaign to the annual AAF National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC).
