Temple Univ. Dept. of Advertising and Public Relations

The Department of Advertising and Public Relations is a thriving program of over 400 students aspiring to build careers in advertising and PR. We have 20 full time faculty and dozens of adjunct instructors who bring industry expertise and skills into the classroom. In Advertising, we have five concentrations: Copywriting, Art Direction, Brand Strategy & Research, Account Management and Media Planning. Public relations is the strategic use of communication to build relationships between organizations and their constituents. Students majoring in Public Relations learn to assess situations and determine, create and communicate strategic messages to build beneficial relationships among all kinds of organizations—including corporate, government and nonprofit—and their various constituents. Within both PR and Advertising we are always looking towards the future of communications. We educate students to be ethical, analytical and creative leaders in a multimedia and multicultural society.
