All concentrations of study are supported by the School's nationally-renowned internship program. Our internship program gives students valuable field experience throughout the Hudson River Valley Region and in New York City with world leaders in communication, news media, advertising, public relations, sports, publishing, television, and other industries.

The School of Communication and the Arts hosts some of the most prestigious student clubs and activities on the Marist campus, such as the Public Relations Student Society of America. Professional organizations provide students with unique experiences, as well as leadership and professional development opportunities.

The Advertising concentration prepares students for careers in the many areas of specialization found in the Advertising industry and its related fields. Advertising students prepare for a lifelong career in advertising by becoming avid investigators and critics of national and international advertising, as well as advertising business practices. The four-year curriculum is based upon a strong foundation of core liberal arts and communication studies classes. After exploring the Advertising industry, its disciplines, and its place in society, students choose to pursue a course of study in either creative or marketing specializations.
