Become tomorrow’s creative leader
Advertising and public relations are vital functions in dynamic companies. Different than marketers, advertising and public relations professionals take a creative look at strategic communications, blending research and art to craft all messages for a company.
You will learn to take your natural creativity and analytical thinking and combine them to create comprehensive and connected brands and communications strategies. Plus, you can choose a minor, like international studies or leadership, to give you a broad perspective of what it takes to be a creative leader.
Discover the keys of strategic communication
Learn what makes an effective visual ad, a good tweet and a compelling story. At Susquehanna, you will
- study foundational theories of strategic communication,
- practice the essential skills of a communication professional — oral, visual, written and research — and
- explore ethics that connect professional communicators.
Guided discussions and projects on concepts from rhetoric to digital advertising will further help develop your skills as a strategic communicator.
Wield the power of communication
While a student, you’ll put your creative communications skills to work. Develop communications plans for on-campus activities, design ads in the student newspaper and find off-campus internships to begin your professional portfolio. You can also join student professional organizations to connect with current advertising and public relations professionals and enrich your academic knowledge with real-world wisdom.
