Public Relations

Build a Good Reputation

Help organizations in every field—from business, government and health care to tourism, entertainment and sports—build and maintain good will, community understanding and a solid reputation. Learn to develop strategies for crisis communications as well as day-to-day public relations.

Start strong. Marquette’s is one of only a few programs in the country to have a full-fledged PR department, rather than a handful of courses through other areas. Develop strength in every aspect of PR, with the flexibility to pursue careers in related fields such as marketing and advertising.

Build your network. Required internships help you connect with Milwaukee’s public relations community. Add to your professional network through participation in the Public Relations Society of America.

Learn from the pros. Faculty bring as much as 20 years of professional experience to the classroom. And part-time instructors include Milwaukee public relations professionals working in the field right now. Small class sizes ensure you’ll know your professors, and they’ll know you.
