Course work in these areas provides students with a thorough grounding in the fundamental skills and practices of public relations and advertising along with a theoretical understanding of their cultural importance as the primary means of persuasion in modern life.

As students move through the program, they can gain professional experience with on-campus and metro-area media and agencies.
