exchanged desired products and services. Today, the advertising profession integrates the
traditional concepts of TV, radio, and print ad production with other persuasive
communications methods, including public relations, direct marketing, sales promotions and
Internet marketing. The Advertising Communications Program is a multidisciplinary program
that combines the pragmatic business and selling aspects of advertising in the marketing area
and the rhetorical, persuasive and creative elements of advertising in the communication area.
