The major is designed to prepare students to help private industry and public organizations improve the quality of communication among themselves, their employees, the general public and government.
Point of Pride
The public relations program was the first and only one in Illinois to earn a Certification in Education for Public Relations (CEPR) from the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) in 2013.
Why study Public Relations?
Public relations is the measured and ethical use of language and symbols to inspire cooperation between an organization and its publics.
