Hear From Students

“Public relations is so much more than just looking at social media; it’s about working with people, dealing with crises in a professional manner, and helping an organization gain trust with the public. With a PR degree, you are able to create the type of job you want for yourself.”

“Having a smaller class size at Carthage has helped me more than I thought it would. I am confident that all of my professors know my name, and I also have a positive relationship with each an every one of them.”

“I’ve met many great professors who have guided me throughout my college journey. Professor Colleen Palmer is one of them. She’s taught me a lot about public relations and the importance of what credibility and public image can do for a brand.”

“My advice for you is to do what you love. There is always something out there in the real world after college that you can use your degree for. Don’t let caution or fear of the future stop you from doing what you love.”

“I was surprised at how smooth the transition from high school to college was! I feel very supported at Carthage, and I know that if I have a question of any sort, there are people all around to help me.”
