BRP degree stays, but the department name changes

This exciting announcement went out today to all of our current public relations students from our Chair, Amy Thurlow. It's been a long process, so I hope you'll join us in our joy.

Hello everyone,
I'm writing to all public relations students today to share some exciting news. The former department of public relations has been re-named the Department of Communication Studies. This change reflects the evolution of our department which now offers a broad range of programs including the BPR, the masters programs, a new Minor in Communication Studies and a new interdisciplinary BSc (Science Communication).

The department name change does not affect the name of the degree Bachelor of Public Relations. If you are a BPR student, you are still working on a Bachelor of Public Relations and your diploma at graduation will indicate that the degree earned is a Bachelor of Public Relations. The change is that your degree is housed in the Department of Communication Studies, along with some newly developed programs.

This evolution in our department is a result of several years of strategic planning and development. Our goal has been to create a department that offers programs which build on our expertise in public relations but also reflect a broader definition of communication. This is important to students, faculty and employers as we ensure that our learning environment keeps pace with a dynamic and complex global landscape.

For more information about the Department of Communication Studies and our new programs, please visit our department website at http://www.msvu.ca/en/home/programsdepartments/Arts_Science/professionalstudies/publicrelations/default.aspx

Please let me know if you have any questions.

All the best with your studies,
Amy
