Your Advertising and Public Relations classes will help you develop skills in writing, critical thinking and listening, public speaking, and communication. You'll practice your skills in real world situations and even put them to good use in the service of others. Plus, the work you do in each class can be collected into a portfolio for prospective employers, showcasing your skills and experience. Finally, you'll round out your coursework with a senior thesis project of your choice, demonstrating the skills you have achieved in an area you’re passionate about.
Many of our students also choose to double major in a related field like Journalism or English to further increase their marketability to employers.
