Students who complete Advertising 345J with a grade of at least B may apply for admission to the Texas Media program. A list of those admitted is posted before registration for the following semester. Those who are not admitted may apply again in subsequent semesters. For their other two courses, students choose from topics of Advertising 377. Courses in the program may be taken concurrently.
Most students complete the program in two semesters.
To be able to register for such a course, the student must first request and receive the instructor's consent through the department's online consent procedure. The student may be invited to an interview with the instructor or may be asked to provide supporting materials such as an application or an essay. The student is responsible for knowing the deadline to receive consent. To change his or her major to advertising, a University student in any other field must submit an application package to the department. To be eligible to apply for a change of major, the student must have completed sixty semester hours of coursework by the end of the semester of application, must have a University grade point average of at least 2.25, and must have earned a grade of at least B in Advertising 318J or be enrolled in that course.
