Advertising for Creatives

Northwestern University School of Continuing Studies offers a certificate program for students looking into an advertising career on the creative side. This program is intended for students interested in pursuing a career in advertising, copywriting, or art direction. Continuing education courses in advertising acquaint students with the skills needed to obtain positions in this highly competitive field. The three advertising courses meet at Leo Burnett offices at 35 West Wacker Drive, though the initial meeting of each term is at the SCS Chicago campus (339 East Chicago Avenue). The advertising courses are team-taught by professionals in the field. At the end of the advertising sequence, students will have completed an interview-ready portfolio.

Choose four:

• MKTG 201 Principles of Marketing
• ADVT 311 Advertising: Creative
• ADVT 312 Advertising: Intermediate Creative
• ADVT 313 Advertising: Advanced Creative
  

Students with previous course work in marketing may substitute other advanced marketing courses for MKTG 201.
