Master of Professional Studies in Public Relations in Public Relations and Corporate Communications - Advanced Professional Certificate

The concentration in Public Relations and Corporate Communications offers two options for individuals looking to advance their career and knowledge within the field, a Masters program (MPS) and an Advanced Professional Certificate (APC).

Advanced Professional Certificate students select five courses within their area of interest in order to complete the certificate.

Whether selecting the MPS or the APC, the applied curriculum prepares students for leadership roles across sectors. Courses emphasize strategic planning to address critical business objectives and the development of hard metrics to measure success. The curriculum not only teaches best practices, but also asks students to apply their learning through real world projects. We understand the benefit of immediately utilizing knowledge gained in the classroom. Students learn to think strategically, gain a global perspective on communications and public relations, develop clear and concise writing skills, and become leaders in the digital world.
