Despite the fact that your academic performance in high school (your high school GPA and the quality of your course work) is the most important indicator of success, the college entrance test scores (either the SAT or ACT), the trend in your grades are considered as well. Additionally, the School takes into account the extent to which the minimum academic preparation standards (MAPS) have been met. Admission is competitive, therefore, only students with the highest qualifications are selected. CU-Boulder requires either the SAT or the ACT for admission consideration. Achievement tests (or the SAT II) are not required. If you graduated from high school in 1988 or later, it is expected that you have completed courses that meet certain minimum academic preparation standards (MAPS) before you enroll at CU-Boulder. This major prepares students for careers in advertising, in ad agencies and in the media. The advertising program was ranked among the top 10 in the country by the International Clio Awards. The curriculum includes courses in advertising principles, copy writing and layout, media, campaigns and consumer behavior. The major offers in-depth preparation for a career creating ads through a variety of electives focusing on the development of print concepts, art direction and portfolio development. Recently students have interned at major ad agencies including DDB; BBDO; J. Walter Thompson; Saatchi and Saatchi; Goodby, Silverstein and Partners; Foote, Cone and Belding; TBWA Chiat Day; Ogilvy and Mather, and Young and Rubicam. Bachelor's Degree
