PLAN YOUR PATH
Preparation, time and schedule
Before you apply
Ask how the general degree and public relations concentration differ, and which portfolio work each supports.
Your complete timeline
180 quarter credits · 4-year example. Prior credits, prerequisite placement and course availability can change your personal completion date.
Plan around the schedule
Online delivery reduces commuting, but assignments and course sequencing still set your workload. Ask which courses require scheduled participation and what part-time study would look like.
Application and selection
Request an official transfer-credit evaluation and an individual degree plan. The advertised maximum transfer allowance is not a guarantee that all your credits will meet major requirements.
Details checked September 15, 2026. Confirm current requirements with the provider.
Questions to take to an advisor
What client projects and writing samples could I finish before graduation?
- Which required courses or placements are offered only once per year?
- Can you give me a written estimate covering every required term and practical expense?
- Which employment, transfer or licensing requirements remain after this award?
Published program length is not a personal completion estimate. Transfer credits, prerequisites, selection and course availability can change the timeline.
After the program
Use coursework and practical projects to demonstrate communication skills. Employment depends on the role, portfolio and experience, not just the degree title.
