PRSSA as a Class (390h)

The primary objective of SPCM 390H is to help students who are preparing to become public relations practitioners gain knowledge and hands-on experience so that they may become marketable candidates for the profession as well as produce materials for their personal portfolios. PRSSA is a pre-professional student organization that serves as the formal link between PRSSA members and the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA), the nation's premier trade association for the PR profession. Other specific learning objectives include:

• Developing students' understanding of the principles and practices of public relations

• Stimulating and encouraging awareness of and appreciation for their chosen field

• Instilling an overall professional and ethical attitude

Students may take PRSSA for course credit.  In order to gain one credit hour for 390H, a member must complete 35 clock hours of PRSSA/Pyramid work during the course of the semester.
