Program Learning Outcomes

Students with Foundational Knowledge will have a 1) theoretical, and up-to-date understanding, of current research findings centered on the concepts, constructs, and principles discussed in the fields of strategic communication and public relations. Researcher findings are often collected through diverse methodologies; therefore, students will (2) demonstrate an understanding of the methodologies and instruments used by both researchers and practitioners. These findings are written by a myriad of authors and disseminated through diverse channels, thus students will (3) become familiar with, and judiciously examine, both authoritative and non-credible sources of information in order to become a more information-literate individual. Finally, as Foundational Knowledge is always changing, students will 4) recognize the impermanent nature of knowledge claims in order to initiate and adapt to new approaches of communication.
In order to obtain Professional Skills, students will be able to (1) demonstrate competency in oral, written, visual, and nonverbal communication both individually and (2) in a team setting using the acquired skills gained from strategic communication and public relations courses. From these skills, students will be able to (3) create multimedia content designed to achieve specific objectives for organizations, while simultaneously targeting a diverse set of audiences in addition to (4) planning, managing, and executing strategic communication campaigns.
