It's great that you're interested in studying advertising! There are several universities across the United States known for their advertising programs, departments, or courses offered within broader communications or marketing programs. Here are a few to consider:

1. University of Texas at Austin: UT Austin's Moody College of Communication boasts the highly regarded Stan Richards School of Advertising & Public Relations. This program offers a comprehensive coursework layout, covering multiple aspects of advertising, and professional practical experiences.

2. Syracuse University: Syracuse's S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications has a well-regarded Advertising major. Here, you'll have access to industry professionals, experiential learning opportunities, and advertising-specific career guidance.

3. University of Florida: UF's College of Journalism and Communications offers an Advertising major within its Journalism and Communications program. The curriculum focuses on advertising strategy, media planning, and creative development, providing students with hands-on experience and opportunities to connect with professionals in the field.

4. Michigan State University: MSU's College of Communication Arts and Sciences has an Advertising + Public Relations major with advertising-focused curriculum preparing students for roles in strategic communication and creativity in the advertising industry.

Additionally, be sure to look for opportunities for internships, networking events, and collaborations with professional advertising agencies. This practical experience will significantly strengthen your advertising career prospects after graduation. Good luck!
