<p>I'm beginning my search for colleges, and I would like to pursue a degree in communications, more specifically in public relations.
Which schools are good for that? </p>
<p>In addition to that, I would also like to study psychology. Are there many schools that would allow me to study both psychology and public relations?</p>
<p>Many if not most schools will allow you to double major. Virtually all comprehensive universities and liberal arts colleges have a psychology major, but many do not have a communications major and even more do not have a public relations major. Though something like that may be lurking behind a different name.</p>
<p>I doubt that any of the very selective, private liberal arts colleges and national universities have a major called “public relations”. Relatively few offer a communications major. So you’re probably going to want to look at public universities. Schools with PR majors include: the University of Rhode Island, the University of Wisconsin at Eau Claire, the University of Alabama, Grand Valley State University, Ohio University.</p>

As true as that may be, it cannot be denied that those colleges nevertheless have some of the best PR people in the country on staff. :rolleyes:</p>
