Be ready for anything with a public relations degree. Our graduates work for TV stations, sports teams communications and in higher education.
What does it mean to be a strategic communicator? How do market yourself? Learn it all in public relations.
Everyone has a story to tell. Will you be their storyteller?
Why study strategic communications and publicrelations at Monmouth?
Because strategic communications/public relations is about shaping stories that matter. If you have a gift for communication, PR gives you the chance to use it in powerful ways — helping businesses grow, raising funds for nonprofits, supporting political campaigns, or defending those who have been wrongly accused.
At Monmouth, our Strategic Communication/PR major is interdisciplinary by design. You’ll take courses rooted in psychology, economics, advertising, and rhetorical theory, all of which prepare you to think critically about audiences and messages. Along the way, you’ll gain practical skills in writing, strategy, and media that make you both effective and ethical as a communicator.
The result? You’ll be ready to enter a wide range of careers where communication drives impact — from corporate and nonprofit work to politics, media, and beyond.
We bridge the gap between theory and practice by providing students with valuable internships and hands-on experience. This helps our students stand out in job applications. Students can get involved with the campus radio station (WFPS-FM), the campus television station (MC-TV) and the campus newspaper (Courier) to expand their resumes. Students are also provided with a substantial number of writing assignments that mirror tasks of public relations professionals. And they are encouraged to partake in theoretically anchored classroom discussions.
