Corporate and Public Relations

Opportunities

Graduates with a concentration in Corporate and Public Relations find employment in a wide variety of fields, including public relations, advertising, special events planning, writing and editing, and public information. In addition, the strong communication and management skills stressed by this concentration enable the graduates to find administrative positions in various business areas with an indirect relationship to corporate communication such as marketing, sales, human resources consulting, or publishing.

Although graduate study is not necessary for those who pursue careers in corporate communication, students have used the major as a basis for graduate work in a variety of areas, including communication, business, and law.
