Public Communication (PCOM) is the practice of creating and delivering relevant, creative, and responsible messages to serve the needs of a community, business, or organization. PCOM graduates are well-prepared for careers in marketing, public relations, community organizing, event planning, and activist journalism, as well as in video, audio, graphic, and social media. 

The PCOM program equips students to use communication to inform and persuade, to build relationships, and to encourage open dialogue in organizations and communities toward resilient solutions. The academic programming is rooted in the application of research, theory, technical knowledge, and sound design principles. Students majoring in Public Communication use an integrated, hands-on approach to communication to critically analyze situations, manage information, and craft messages that work in an increasingly global society.
