Aggregate Summary from 1999 Edition , Where shall I go to study advertising and public relations?
The following facts and figures are a summation
of the information generated from the 1999 Where Shall I Go to Study Advertising
and Public Relations? (35th edition), published by AEP (Advertising Education
Publications). Each fall, AEP surveys all the known programs in the
nation. Information on the programs is requested at least three times
in an effort to ensure valid and up-to-date information.
The first year a program does not provide an
update, the previous year's information is used. The next year, the
university name remains in the book; program information is deleted but
still used in the enclosed computations. The third year the program
does not respond to the update mailings, both the listing and the information
are deleted from the directory and data computations. The program
will continue to be invited to provide updated information each year.
Only currently updated institutions are considered
in naming largest or most rankings of institutions
