Advertising and Promotion Minor

http://catalog.valdosta.edu/undergraduate/academic-programs/interdisciplinary-multidisciplinary-studies/advertising-promotion-minor/

Open to students from all disciplines in the University, the Advertising and Promotion (A and P) minor provides students with a theoretical understanding of advertising as a discipline as well as a practical set of skills necessary for anyone involved in the advertising and promotion industries. At its core, it provides students with insight into the various marketing-related activities associated with advertising; however, as an interdisciplinary minor, it encourages students to pursue an understanding of advertising from other disciplines such as communications, art, journalism, mass media, and English. Ultimately, students who wish to communicate effectively in the marketplace, promote their own business or other enterprise, or just want to learn a little more about advertising and how it works will benefit from the advertising minor.
