Overview | Courses | Instructors | Advisory Board | How to Register Program Overview
Approved by the UW Department of Communication The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics expects the need for good public relations in an increasingly competitive business environment to sustain demand for public relations specialists in organizations of all types and sizes. A career in public relations offers challenging opportunities to create vision, build understanding, and solve communications problems in dynamic environments. Public relations professionals deal with media relations, investor relations, political communications, corporate counseling, marketing communications, opinion research, crisis management, commercial sales promotion, and international relations. The UW Public Relations Certificate Program is designed primarily for individuals exploring entry or career transition into the public relations field in a corporate or public-sector environment, a nonprofit organization, or a public relations firm. The program may also be appropriate for individuals who are in early stages of their careers in the public relations field. In the final quarter, students have the opportunity to work on actual public relations challenges confronting companies and organizations in the Seattle area. This program is endorsed by the Public Relations Society of America, Puget Sound Chapter, and the International Association of Business Communicators, Seattle Chapter.
