Department of Communication
Public Relations
Public relations involves the planned management of an organization’s relationships with its stakeholders and the strategic crafting of all its communications. It requires a knowledge of people, events and communication -- and expert understanding of how they influence each other, then applying that expertise by knowing how and when to best communicate.
For these reasons, our public relations (PR) program is an interdisciplinary major incorporating journalism, electronic media & broadcasting, marketing and speech communication.
