Welcome to the BSc. Advertising and Public Relations - Public Relations

Prepare to put your creative talents in areas like writing, audio, video, and social media to use in a growing industry. Help individuals and organizations that want to build a positive reputation with a career in public relations (PR). Choose between the general PR program or a specialty in Recording Industry. Your foundation for PR learning begins with courses in areas including writing, digital media, case studies, crisis communication, and research. Then, you get to create your own path with offerings like digital analytics, podcasting, data skills, sports and social media, and music business. Finally, all students finish their time in the concentration by working for a real-world client in the capstone campaigns course. Along the way, on-campus groups like the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) and the student-powered agency, Ever Blue Branding, can help you find your people and build your resume for your career. If digital is your thing, sharpen your skills by examining online content in the Social Media Insights Lab.
