General Information

The Temerlin Advertising Institute (TAI), one of the nation’s only endowed advertising institutes, invites each student to build a foundation of strategic communication principles, to develop a deep appreciation of the power of advertising and to join in an exploration of how advertising can be channeled for the betterment of a product or service for a client as well as for society. Students will explore responsibility issues within traditional advertising courses and experiential opportunities. Within the program, students may opt to follow an industry focus or a research/thesis emphasis.

Because the Temerlin Advertising Institute is located in Dallas, it enjoys a strong relationship with a vibrant advertising industry. DFW is the nation’s fifth largest media market and the headquarters for major advertising agencies, national and global corporations, large U.S. media corporations, public relations firms, and film production companies. This location affords access to professionals who are of the highest caliber and who serve as class clients, guest lecturers, executives-in-residence, adjunct faculty and internship sponsors.
