Public relations majors learn how to develop and maintain key relationships between companies, nonprofit organizations, governments, and professional associations and their multiple target audiences. Students are introduced to the importance of ethical practices and corporate reputation in the business world. Classes focus on real-world examples and cases, and out-of-class experiences include job shadowing, internships and off-campus expedition classes in major metropolitan areas. Graduates from the program are employed in both entry-level and senior executive positions at agencies, small and large companies, nonprofit organizations and trade associations.
