Overview

Public relations practitioners maintain a favorable image of a company, organization or individual through the use of different communication skills such as writing, speaking, and relationship building.

At the University of Louisiana at Lafayette we offer a bachelor degree in Public Relations. Professionals learn a skill set that can be applied to almost any organization whether non-profit or corporate, local or international.

Key Features

Public relations professionals communicate with the media, the community, shareholders, government officials, customers, and almost any other person who has a relationship with an organization, to ensure and maintain favorable images.
