The Minor in Public Relations equips students in other majors with the fundamental skills — writing, content production, public relations planning — that will help them become more attractive job candidates in their chosen fields. Conceptually, the coursework will be more general in nature and the Public Relations Minor will not have an internship requirement. Once they have completed the three required courses, they will still be eligible to select from an array of electives including sports, political and entertainment PR as well as content development labs. 

In conjunction with the Marshall School of Business, the PR Studies Program administers an Advertising Minor that is open to undergraduate students university-wide.  The advertising minor is designed for students inter­ested in building a career in, or developing a better un­derstanding of, the field of advertising. It explores the key role played by advertising in today’s global econ­omy. Emphasis is placed throughout the program on both the practical skills required to meet the demands of the marketplace and the theoretical underpinnings of those practices.  Recent changes to the curriculum include emphasis on integrated marketing and the changing face of advertising.  Students take core courses at Annenberg as well as two marketing courses at Marshall.
