The Department of Journalism at The University of Memphis offers an online Bachelor of Arts degree in public relations.

You may complete your courses online; no trips to campus are required. You also have the option of choosing on-campus courses if your location allows you to travel to campus.

Online programs provided flexibility and portability so you can succeed at earning a degree in spite of family commitments, erratic work schedules, or limited mobility.

Courses are offered via the Web, so wherever you can make a high-speed Internet connection, you can access your courses and the many resources available to you as a student at a major university!

Online courses are engaging and convenient but they do require high levels of self-discipline and motivation.

Faculty for the online program are the same as those who instruct our well-regarded on-campus program, and your degree is awarded by The University of Memphis, College of Communication and Fine Arts.
