Public Relations

Public Relations starts with critical thinking and writing. It’s about using your talent to manage an organization’s reputation and to tell its story to important audiences. Rowan has one of the oldest and most celebrated public relations programs in the country. The program holds the Certified Educator in Public Relations credential from the Public Relations Society of America, one of only 30 programs worldwide to do so. Classroom instruction simulates real-world PR challenges as you work with real clients, participate in problem-solving competitions, and make panel presentations. Rowan’s PR program is a rigorous learning experience in which students study with seasoned practitioners and practice their skills in a variety of forums, from required internships to working in Rowan’s celebrated chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America. The chapter, which competes against chapters from much larger colleges and universities, has been named outstanding chapter in the nation eight times, more than any other chapter, and won more than 200 national awards.
