Minor in Public Relations

Program Contact: Hilary Fussell-Sisco 203-582-3682

This minor provides a solid foundation in the principles of public relations and teaches you to think strategically when crafting a media relations plan. You’ll also learn to write persuasively for a diverse audience.

This program perfectly complements majors inside and outside the School of Communications, such as those in marketing, political science or journalism, but it also can be customized. You will take required courses, such as the Principles of Public Relations, and Writing for Strategic Communications, and then select elective courses that focus on your own particular areas of interest, such as sports public relations, international public relations and event planning.

Students wishing to minor in public relations must complete 18 credits.
