Our mission is to prepare entry-level practitioners for careers in agency, corporate, government and nonprofit public relations. The BA in public relations program emphasizes research, writing, campaigns, speaking and service learning.

The program focuses on helping students acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to manage the
relationships between an organization and the public.

Your studies at Quinnipiac prepare you thoroughly for your future. Students take required courses such as PR Writing, PR Research and PR Campaigns, and also choose electives such as Non-Profit Public Relations, Agency Management, Sports Event Planning, Political Communication or Video Essentials.

We also require our PR students to choose from a variety of minors outside the School of Communications. All students must complete a core curriculum, an interdisciplinary foundation in the humanities, science and business. Because the written word figures prominently in your career, we place special emphasis on writing skills through our Writing Across the Curriculum program.
