Advertising schools are often connected with marketing programs.
Advertising schools can be grouped into two categories, universities with full marketing and advertising programs and colleges with more technical advertising programs. University programs are typically regarded as more prestigious than college programs as entrance requirements are generally higher. However this does not mean that college programs or their graduates are any less qualified or likely to succeed in the advertising profession.
