Public Relations
With Public Relations as your emphasis you will study writing and implement social media that are redefining the world of communication. Companies in nearly every industry require coordinated and ongoing public relations campaigns to achieve their goals. Customer experience, online communities, and social networking have created the need for PR professionals with a very different set of skills than those of their predecessors.
You and your student colleagues will research industry trends, create objectives, plan real world events and evaluate their implementation. You will leave Waldorf with the skills to apply new technology and new methods of strategic communication to implement effective public relations plans. Your education, at Waldorf College, will focus on preparing you to rise to the challenges as a creative problem solver.
