<p>Hi TX Architect-
While I don’t know anything specific to the Marketing or Advertising majors I can share this…seriously consider having your D attend the Capstone Business Leadership Academy this summer. </p>
<p>There are 2 10 day sessions, one in June and one in July. My son attended last summer and loved it. While they are not awarded any college credit the cost is only $350 for 10 DAYS IN A DORM INCLUDING FOOD AND ALL ACTIVITIES and these kids have scholarship’s offered to them that no other students can receive.</p>
<p>It was informative and fun. They went to several corporate headquarters and had many speakers come to them.</p>
<p>Here is the link for the academy [Capstone</a> Business Leadership Academy](<a href=“Home - The Culverhouse College of Business”>Home - The Culverhouse College of Business)</p>
<p>The kids really get a feel for the University of Alabama, my son was “all in” after his 10 days on campus!</p>
<p>On another note, my daughter is interested in Public Realations and I know from her interest the Advertising and Public Realations depts are very highly rated. In fact PR was tied with NYU for 1st overall PR dept recently. </p>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>
