Public Relations & Strategic Communication Management Students

What is Public Relations & Strategic Communication Management?

Using various forms of communication, we manage the relationships that are necessary for an organization’s success. You might even say that public relations & strategic communication management professionals are strategic storytellers. As a PRSC student at Texas Tech University, you’ll learn how to create and deliver engaging written, digital, and face-to-face messages. You’ll also learn how to manage integrated communication programs, campaigns, and resources so you can effectively advocate for the organizations and causes that are important to you—in any industry!
