As a public relations major at the University of Maryland, I could have taken a bunch of different
angles towards my career path.
Now in my junior year at the school, I have used my expertise in communication and PR to focus
on a sports journalism/media career path. Regardless of what coursework you choose to take or
what your passion is, my one main piece of advice is to be yourself and take whatever
opportunities arise in a head-on manner.
My skills have, without a doubt, been amplified because of my public relations courses. I
strongly recommend becoming a PR major because of its versatility. Public relations paves the
way for anyone to reach countless different outlets while molding the skills that are necessary for
every facet of life.
