Minerva, the creative concentration in advertising at The University of Alabama, has selected its 10th cohort. The students selected for the two-year concentration work in teams as art directors and copywriters to build competitive and compelling portfolios while earning their undergraduate or graduate degree in advertising.

New cohorts are selected each spring and Minerva accepts no more than 25 students. The specialized curriculum produces award-winning students, and its alumni currently work at some of the world’s most creative and well-respected advertising agencies. Adyson Hathcock of Springville, was chosen for this program.
