The Certificate in Public Relations is now the Diploma in Public Relations. The name more accurately reflects the academic analysis of courses within our program and the credential change brings the program in alignment with other programs across Canada.
Today’s public relations professionals must be able to design external and internal communications plans, and integrate the new theoretical and practical models of public relations practice that have emerged in recent years.
The Diploma in Public Relations program meets these needs, preparing graduates to think critically, develop the skills of teamwork, value a strong work ethic, manage time effectively while working under the pressure of deadlines and multiple projects.
Through online public relations courses, graduates learn valuable writing skills and a better understanding and application of research. You’ll also increase your awareness of current events, the impact of global issues and their impact on organizations.
If you work in a public relations or communications field – in the public or private sector – and you want to continue your professional development or upgrade your qualifications, this program of public relations courses – and public relations diploma – may be right for you.
