My
Education A Guide for Planning My Studies in Marketing Communication at Columbia College Chicago
Dear Students: You picked a great time to major in marketing communication. The worldwide information industry is exploding with opportunities - and with fresh challenges that put new competitive demands on artists, technicians, businesspeople, and civic leaders to know how to construct and promote their messages effectively. In this age of information, the art of persuasion is key. The science of marketing turns technological innovations and insights in human behavior into billion-dollar industries. The culture of advertising shapes and colors the world we live in. And the persuasive power of public relations dominates not only the marketplace of ideas, but the political arena as well.
The Marketing Communication Department will provide you with an intensive understanding of the disciplines of Marketing, Advertising, and Public Relations. With a sense of continuity between traditional and emerging practice, our mission is to prepare students for the professions, now and in the future. We aim to educate students in the theory and practices of their chosen field. Our approach can help you not only find your first jobs in your chosen field, but also enable you to climb faster and farther than your counterparts entering the job market from other institutions. Please use this portfolio to organize your notes on your education in marketing communication. You’ll find it useful as a way to keep track of your progress, not only here at Columbia College, but also as a tool to help you identify your accomplishments as you search for your first professional position. Here’s to your success! Thomas Hamilton and Herbert Allen Co-Chairpersons, Marketing Communication Department

Please use the chart on the other side of this card to help you figure out your course load for the term and be sure to bring this form with you when you meet with your faculty advisor.

What If I’d Like to Obtain an Internship? We manage one of the most effective internship programs in the country with placements in Chicago, throughout the U.S., and overseas, providing extremely competitive internships to Junior and Senior level students in our department. It is an opportunity to work part-time in a marketing area you think you might want to consider after college. And it will help you gain valuable work experience and determine if your interest in a particular career matches your abilities. We have also found that many employers seek entry level candidates who have taken internships during college because they believe those people will not only have experience but also a better understanding of the work-place environment and the skills required to be effective immediately. At the same time, an internship increases your networking contacts and may lead to a full-time position immediately after you graduate.
By taking an Internship, you can also receive 1 - 6 credit hours per internship and up to 12 total credit hours during your college career if you take more than one. After approval from the Internship Director, you register on Oasis and pay for these credits just as you would for any other course. Your grade is determined by your supervisors’ evaluation and the paper you write, detailing your internship experience. The Internship Center in the Marketing Communication Department can help you find an internship (we have over 300 opportunities), develop a resume and cover letter, improve your interviewing skills, and develop job-hunting strategies. For details on obtaining an internship and the services we offer, contact: Dave Gordon

What If I Would Like to Study an Area Not Covered in a Course Offering?
Independent project study is an opportunity for students who are interested in developing expertise in a subject area in which they have completed all of the course offerings.

See the college intranet site for an application. 54-3098
Independent Project: Marketing
How Can I Study Abroad as a Marketing Communication Major? Many students explore international programs on their own with the help of the Office of Academic Initiatives and International Programs. The office helps students find areas of study that will merge well with our curriculum and allow you to continue to earn credit in other environments. You may also choose to take a course of study in Prague offered right here through the department. Every summer up to fifteen students study Global Marketing at our residence in Prague in a five-week program taught by Columbia College faculty. The credits count as department electives, and you can register for them just as you would for any other class. The department has a strong partnership with FCB Prague, therefore the guest speaker opportunities and field trip adventures will add remarkable depth to your education. Look for informational posters in the hallways for application and registration information.
