Marketing vs. Graphic Design Major?

[Jennifer]

Honestly, I think that you could go with either one and have a good combination. I majored in Graphic Design and minored in Marketing, and this combination did help me in many ways. I have also talked with a lot of people in Marketing departments at companies and they say that having experience with design is helpful/necessary.

I've also talked to a lot of designers and many of them get burnt out of all of the designing, and don't really like it anymore. If you minor in marketing, you may not get burnt out of the thing you really love, which is art. If you get burnt out of the marketing you can move on without losing your passion.

Either combination will be great, just do what you want.
