The Public Relations and Advertising Department offers students the opportunity to prepare for a wide variety of careers. They serve as managers and specialists for many different kinds of businesses. Some examples include utility companies, entertainment centers, hotels, insurance companies, sports organizations, technology companies, manufacturers and publishers.
Some graduates work for agencies throughout the country.
Other graduates have started their own firms. Our graduates also serve as media relations directors, special events coordinators, customer service representatives, copywriters and editors. The Department is proud of its students, whose efforts have prompted our Public Relations Student Society of America Chapter to be named the best in the country five of the last ten years. Our Ad Club, a college chapter of the American Advertising Federation, serves more than 90 students with educational, mentoring and professional service programs. The Department emphasizes hands-on experience and requires an internship for all students.
