School of Journalism
Advertising and public relations are distinct fields; these programs help students prepare for positions in advertising agencies and departments, media sales and management, advertising production and design, public relations agencies and departments, and organizational and employee relations.
Students in public relations may choose the general program or a specialty in the recording industry; both programs require 37-39 credits by the junior year, students should choose two minors and one should be in the Jennings A. Jones College of Business. With permission of the advisor or the director of the School of Journalism, a student may replace the 15 hours in the Jennings A. Jones College of Business with a minor in the basic or applied sciences or a minor in the liberal arts and sciences.
