A Public Relations major, usually a bachelor's degree, covers media relations, strategic messaging, crisis and reputation management, campaign planning, and PR writing across press releases, pitches, and social channels. Coursework typically includes communication theory, PR research and measurement, media law and ethics, and a portfolio-building capstone, with most programs requiring an internship at an agency, nonprofit, corporate communications team, or government office.

Graduates write and place stories with journalists, manage social and digital channels, plan events and announcements, draft executive communications, and coordinate responses during a crisis. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, public relations specialists earned a median wage of $69,780 in 2024, and the occupation is projected to grow 4.8% from 2024 to 2034. Entry-level specialist roles generally require a bachelor's degree, while senior management positions, such as public relations and fundraising manager, often expect substantial experience and sometimes a graduate degree.

The major pairs naturally with a Marketing, Journalism, or Political Science double major or minor, and overlaps heavily with broader Communications programs.
