Practicing ethical public relations from a faith perspective

At Messiah University, you’ll learn the practice of public relations from a faith-filled perspective, understanding that organizations – whether large or small, corporate or non-profit, secular or faith-based – must foster two-way, ethical, mutually beneficial relationships with their many publics. As a Christian public relations student, you’ll consider the importance of recognizing the imago dei in all publics, building on the biblical principle that every person is created in God’s image and is worthy of value and respect. You’ll take classes that equip you with a wide range of public relations skills (social media, event planning, research, crisis communication, design, writing, digital content creation, and more), preparing you for a variety of careers. Exciting internships, hands-on campus experiences, numerous networking events, a thriving PRSSA chapter, and countless leadership opportunities round out an exciting university experience.

 

Job outlook

Messiah University is one of the few colleges in the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) to offer a public relations major. Careers in public relations are expected to significantly increase from 2024-2034, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
