Public relations is a competitive and rapidly changing field. At Webster University, you'll learn how to identify communications problems, and develop and implement real-world solutions — in real time. Our public relations programs combine a strong foundation of academic study with opportunities to test concepts through projects. Students will learn to manage relationships with clients, create project budgets and develop strong writing skills. They'll also learn theories and gain hands-on experience in creating strategic information programs, internal communications plans, media relations and special events as they build their professional portfolios using all available formats of media (print, video, radio and television, and social media, digital and electronic applications).
The west wing of Sverdrup will be rebuilt as a state-of-the-art media production and communication education facility, providing our students the most up-to-date and unique technology in the entire region.
Learn more about the Sverdrup renovations including plans, progress updates, room relocations, and more.
Faculty members are practicing professionals and mentors who allow students to work with real-world public relations clients. At Webster, we balance academic learning with hands-on experience in strategic communications planning, internal communications, media relations, social media, tactical production techniques, special events, public relations research, and project management and evaluation.
