he practice of public relations and strategic communication involves the ability to effectively relate to different publics as well as properly formulate, design and implement message campaigns for clients that include hospitals, corporations, non-profit groups and government agencies. You will gain first-hand experience in the creation and implementation of campaigns based on the goals or mission of the client through involvement in one of the many professional and student organizations on campus. Our students regularly turn their class projects into professional conference presentations.

Our Public Relations and Strategic Communication program will prepare you for all aspects of relating to different publics. Whether you choose to be the “face” of an organization, government agency or advocacy group or choose to work behind the scenes in the publicizing and promoting of events, people, products or causes, the Public Relations and Strategic Communication major at Ashland University will have both the knowledge and skill required to excel in all of these roles.
