The Honours Bachelor of Public Relations Management is a four-year honours bachelor's degree from Centennial College's School of Media and Creative Arts, offered in collaboration with the School of Business. Classes currently run out of the Story Arts Centre, with the program moving to the Progress Campus in Fall 2026. Over eight semesters, the curriculum pairs the theory, principles, and application of public relations with a foundation in business through core business courses, giving graduates a combined communications-and-business skill set. Coursework builds ability across corporate communications, strategic communications planning, digital and social media, research-driven communications planning, and professional writing, and students apply these skills through real-world projects such as drafting media releases and planning events. Students complete a 14-week field placement in industry, gaining hands-on professional experience before they graduate. It suits students aiming for careers in public relations, social media management, and corporate communications who want grounding in both communications strategy and general business principles. The degree is offered under ministerial consent to award this applied credential for a seven-year term, with the college responsible for ensuring admitted students can complete the program within a reasonable timeframe.
