There
are more than 200 American
colleges and 100 graduate schools

of journalism or a communications
department. Many other colleges
offer related coursework outside
of a degree program. 
A

public relations, writing,
desk-top publishing,
organizational management,
theories of communications,
journalism, advertising, research,
sociology, and any of many
specialized subjects depending on
a student's particular career
interests.
A
good place to begin researching
educational options is the PR
career center at SchoolColleges.com.
The
PR job seeker can find lots of
employment leads at sites offering
career
guidance, internships,
public
relations job listings, professional
development, and general
PR industry connections.
Aspirants
mulling a future in public
relations may want to look at some
fundamentals
of the PR industry. A dose of PR
ethics may help with the
difficult decisions when the heat
hits. A wise adage says the
journey of a thousand miles begins
with a first step -- make sure
yours are in the right direction!
