In the Public Relations and Advertising program, you will develop an understanding of public relations and advertising theories and practices. You鈥檒l learn to consider processes, products and effects from multiple perspectives, as well as develop critical thinking skills and your ability to speak and write effectively.

When you pursue a public relations and advertising degree, you鈥檒l study with a program named the 2022 Outstanding Education Program by industry-leading publication PRWeek.
