In the Communication Department at Regis College, we provide students with a broad foundation in the public relations discipline. The curriculum has a solid liberal arts base and focuses on developing creative, technical, and interpersonal skills with courses in communication, public relations, marketing, organizational ethics, and graphics.
Public relations majors gain an understanding of the contribution and responsibility of public relations/communication departments in organizations in both the private and public sectors. The importance of corporate image is also stressed.
An outstanding feature of this program is the opportunity for students to gain practical experience through internships. Students can take several different internships at advertising and public relations firms as well as at for-profit and nonprofit organizations. Opportunities include:
- WCVB-TV Channel 5
- Gray and Rice Publications
- SHIFT Communications
- McLean Hospital
- Massachusetts State Police
- MIT Whitehead Institute of Biomedical Research

- U.S. Army Soldier Systems Center (Natick Labs)
- Massachusetts State House
- Nicoll Public Relations
- The Weber Group
- Mintz Levin Cohn Ferris Glovsky and Popeo PC

The public relations major prepares students for entry-level positions in areas such as the media, activism, and government, as well as for graduate study in communication. Regis students may complete their master's degree in organizational and professional communication by studying full-time for one additional year. Part-time study is also an option for completing a graduate degree.
