Grade Point Average (GPA)
Programs typically have a minimum GPA requirement for admission. The required GPA may vary depending on the program, but a GPA of 3.0 or higher is often competitive.
Standardized Test Scores
Some programs may require applicants to submit standardized test scores, such as the GRE or GMAT. These scores help programs assess an applicant’s aptitude for graduate-level work.
Work Experience
While not always required, work experience in public relations or a related field can be advantageous. Applicants with relevant experience may be able to demonstrate their understanding of the industry and their commitment to a career in public relations.
