"I was so well-prepared when I graduated, especially because of the faculty mentoring that supports the program’s fantastic and challenging curriculum. I wish all the young professionals I interviewed were as well-prepared as UCM PR graduates are."

"Through the courses in the marketing department, I had access to the same platforms as marketing professionals in the industry. I can’t think of a better preparation method than familiarizing myself with the tools that will be vital to my role as a young professional. I feel not only educated but also confident stepping into a full-time position."

"PR is an awesome career if you like to get your hands in a little bit of everything involved in organizational representation and sustainability. I came to UCM thinking PR was about writing news releases. It’s about so much more. When a company looks good and has a story people can relate to, PR people are behind all that. It’s an amazing major giving us a very promising future."

"During my time at UCM so far, I have explored a few different majors, but it wasn't until I switched to marketing that I found the right fit for me. Marketing allows me to think outside of the box while also teaching me communication, analytical, and strategic skills. I love what I am learning, and I know I will be prepared for a career after graduation!"
