For advertising, everything that comes under your college's headings of "Marketing" and "Sales". "Communication" courses might be good if the contents are business oriented and not too general in nature. Read the course description and even check out the course book beforehand to see if what will be taught will help you. After that, you should choose the courses that will teach you what you'd need to study to support the type of job(s) you'd prefer to get within the industry. For instance, if you want to be the person who designs and creates advertisements, you'd probably include graphics arts courses and/or courses in popular computer graphics software like Photoshop.

You should concentrate on becoming an absolute expert in whatever you want to ultimately do.

Publishing? What do you prefer to do in the publishing field? That's a tough one without knowing what you want to do. The more wishy-washy you are in your selection of courses, the harder it will be to ultimately find the job you want after college. Employers prefer persons who are really smart and really good at what they will hire them for. Coming out of college, you should be able to mention courses you took and the grades you got in those courses that support the job you're applying for since you won't have experience.
