Apply Your Skills and Prosper

Advertising students at the Moody College of Communication have a variety of experiential learning opportunities. Practical, hands-on learning is essential to sharpening real-world skillsets in the next generation of creative leaders and media strategists. The collaboration between coursework and industry allows students to focus their training, enhance their portfolios and build a network that assists them in landing professional positions.

In the Classroom

Faculty work deliberately to provide students opportunities to work with and present to real clients on long term projects. Previous clients include: Samsung, Texas Athletics, HEB, HomePlate Peanut Butter, Groovy Automotive, Voodoo Doughnut and other local non-profit organizations.
