Public relations professionals have an increasingly important role in an age of instant communication. Organizations must employ high-quality public relations strategies to manage their relationships with key stakeholder populations. From research and strategic planning to writing and event coordination, EKU will prepare you with the skills you need to build a successful career in the public relations field.
Organizations will continue to emphasize community outreach and customer relations as a way to maintain and enhance their reputation and visibility. Public opinion can change quickly, particularly because both good and bad news spread rapidly through the Internet. Consequently, public relations specialists will be needed to respond to news developments and maintain their organization’s reputation.
Employment of public relations specialists is projected to grow 6 percent from 2023 to 2033.
