"PR is an awesome career if you like to get your hands in a little bit of everything
involved in organizational representation and sustainability. I came to UCM thinking
PR was about writing news releases. It’s about so much more. When a company looks
good and has a story people can relate to, PR people are behind all that. It’s an
amazing major giving us a very promising future."

Curriculum
"As a community college transfer, I had heard of PR but wasn’t really sure what it
was. Strategic storytelling with a business mindset is what sets it apart from other
majors. I love what I do and already have real experience from an internship and participation
in Innovative Public Relations [IPR]."
