Admissions: For students wishing to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Advertising or Minor in Advertising, admission is a two-part process. Students are first admitted by the University and later into the Temerlin Advertising Institute (TAI). To be admitted into the TAI, the student must complete a two-part process.

STEP ONE: Candidates wishing to enter TAI must first complete the following required subset courses with a minimum cumulative G.P.A. of 3.0: STAT 1301, ENGL 1301, ENGL 1302, and ADV 2374. No other exceptions will be granted. Students transferring from other universities must have completed equivalent courses and obtained the equivalent cumulative G.P.A. in those courses before they can progress to Step Two.

STEP TWO: Once the candidate has fulfilled Step One, he/she must also complete a written onsite application that examines grammar, spelling, punctuation, critical thinking, and writing skills. The onsite admissions application takes place once each semester and once each summer.
