Public Relations

In our program you'll learn how to create messages and strategic plans to connect with your audiences.

Organizations need experienced communicators to effectively convey their messages. Teaching our students how to craft communications and reach out to is at the heart of our mission.

Our internationally recognized public relations (PR) program is one of the few in the U.S. that offers undergraduate, graduate and mid-career-level PR education. Typically, incoming graduate students are recent college graduates planning on entering the public relations field. 

"The public relations program educates students far beyond writing a press release or a pitch letter." Lisa Cialfi G '10 Account coordinator, Travers Collins & Company

Prepare for the profession

In our 13-month program, you will study the theory, concepts, processes and practices of public relations (PR). Your introductory graduate year public relations course will challenge you to conceptualize, plan and execute typical PR activities such as client meetings and press conferences. From there, you will spend your year developing critical and strategic thinking, as well as learn how to most effectively interact with both clients and the news media.
