A brief description of the undergraduate degree program (3rd program):
The ability to write well is an absolutely crucial skill for a career in public relations, so be sure to strengthen and develop your writing skills. NMU’s liberal studies program will help you fine-tune these skills, as will your public relations course work. Additionally helpful skills for the public relations field include creativity, initiative, good judgment and the ability to express thoughts clearly and simply. Decisions-making, problem solving and research skills are also important. People who choose public relations as a career would also benefit from having self-confidence, an understanding of human psychology and an en- thusiasm for motivating people. They should also be competitive, yet flexible and able to function as part of a team.
