Pursuing studies in the Ad/PR program is a fairly simple process:
Declare Your Major
Current CCNY students must first declare their major in Communications, and their concentration as Advertising and Public Relations using the i-Declare portal.
Students interested in admission in the Fall should declare their major in March.
Students interested in admission in the Spring should declare their major in October.
Exact deadlines are published at the start of each semester.
ADMISSIONS CRITERIA
-
Students wishing to major in Ad/PR should complete the pre-requisite course, MCA 101 Introduction to Media Studies, with a B- or better prior to, or concurrently as they declare their major as Ad/PR.
-
Students must have completed at least 45 credits prior to entering the major.
TRANSFER STUDENTS
Transfer students must meet the same criteria as above.
In addition, transfer students who have been accepted to CCNY should meet with an Ad/PR academic advisor before applying to the Ad/PR program.
If you have taken courses that you believe are equivalent to the Ad/PR major requirements, please bring your official college transcript, grade report, and a course description of the related coursework to your advising meeting.
Students who have taken a Mass Communications course (MCA 101 equivalent) at another school will need to bring additional writing samples to demonstrate writing proficiency.
For additional guidance on declaring your major, freshmen entering CCNY and incoming transfer students can contact the Office of Admissions at 212-650-6977.
Current CCNY students should contact Academic Advising at the Division of the Humanities of the Arts with any questions regarding declaring their major.
Current Ad/PR majors can reach out to their Ad/PR Academic Advisors with any questions they might have.
