In the first summer session the School of Journalism will offer J321 Principles of Public Relations as a three-hour course, MWF, 1:10-3:40 p.m. in Ernie Pyle Hall. Many students who take this class use it as a way to explore whether public relations is a potential career option for them. The course provides an overview of the breadth of the profession, what it takes to be successful, how to be a responsible advocate, and how practitioners apply communications and problem-solving skills to public relations challenges. The students are usually a mix of sophomores, juniors, and seniors. There are no prerequisites for the course, so students from different disciplines will find it easy to enroll. I will be teaching the course and am happy to answer any questions.
