Montco's Preparations for Public Relations

By: Danielle Ruch 

BLUE BELL, PA--Montgomery County Community College is preparing to expand its academic opportunities, starting with establishing Specialty Certificates, one in particular being Public Relations.  One of many new Specialty Certificates, Public Relations is defined as the practice of managing the spread of information between an individual or an organization and the public.  The aim of public relations by a company is to persuade the public, investors, partners, and employees to maintain a certain view about its leadership, and products.  The new program at Montco includes new classes such as SPC 125: Introduction to Public Relations, and SPC 225: Writing for Public Relations Campaigns. These classes are designed so that students learn the basic concepts necessary to understand what public relations is and how it is practiced in a variety of settings.  The Public Relations Specialty Certificate has a tuition fee of $3,297.00 and may be completed with just six classes over a period of a year or less.  These certificates were designed to give students an advantage professionally, and help them advance in their careers.  Students at Montgomery County Community College seem enthusiastic about this new program developing on campus and how it may benefit them professionally, and allow them to obtain a more specific degree.  For more information, contact Tom Donlan or visit mc3.edu.
