UCM的公共关系计划培养专业人士，他们采用以公共为重点的方法来进行以结果为导向的战略沟通。中央密苏里大学计划只是获得CEPR认证的全球第38个计划，CEPR认证是公共关系教育的全球标准。公共关系理科学士学位要求至少120个学期的时间和至少4个学期的课程顺序。未成年人不是必需的，但受到鼓励。行业实践集中也是可选的。通过小学院学习环境，公共关系和战略传播为学生提供世界一流的教育。
Public Relations professionals work at the intersection of business and strategic communication as the “voice behind the voice.” We are everywhere, keeping an organization’s story front and center to help it achieve goals like selling products, connecting people, changing history and setting pathways to new adventures. At the University of Central Missouri, you’ll learn how to achieve this by telling and sharing stories through words, speech, imagery, timing and more to help people, businesses and organizations be heard. Prepare for a career in PR at UCM with a business-oriented bachelor’s degree — that has fewer math requirements. To keep up with the changing needs of employers, media outlets and publics, our Bachelor of Science in Public Relations and Strategic Communication program continues to evolve. Other programs with degrees in Public Relations still teach only tactics. At the University of Central Missouri, we’ve grown from a mass communication degree to a communications and journalism degree and finally to a PRSA-certified bachelor’s degree program that integrates strategy and skills throughout the curriculum.
