Advertising offers a fresh approach to traditionally separate programs in public relations and advertising. Students complete the program with the essential balance of theoretical and practical knowledge and skills to create and deliver messages targeted to a wide array of audiences: media, employees, customers, legislators, investors and the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside the classroom, students benefit from joining our active student chapters of the Public Relations Student Society of America and American Advertising Federation&#8217;s Ad Club. Members have the chance to participate in PR and advertising projects and campaigns for actual clients. Additionally, students may contribute to the five fountains marketing and communication agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rounding out the activities in Strategic Communication are faculty-led collaborative research and service learning opportunities, as well as a vibrant internship program. Each semester, including summer, interns work with numerous for-profit and non-profit organizations and communications firms locally and nationally. Indianapolis provides an excellent learning laboratory for strategic communication students, who often land jobs with the companies for which they intern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"link-list layout-links\" >\n    <div class=\"link-list__container link-list__grid-default\">\n                        <div class=\"list-list__linkWrapper link-list__grid-default\">\n                                <ul class=\"wysiwyg__ctaLinks\">\n                                                        <li>\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/communication\/communication-leadership\/strategic-communication\/curriculum\/\" class=\"button-link-right button-link-right--color-blue-bright\" >Major\/Minor Curriculum<\/a>\n                                <\/li>\n                                                        <li>\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/academics\/three-year-programs\/majors\/\" class=\"button-link-right button-link-right--color-blue-bright\" >Earn Your Degree in Three Years<\/a>\n                                <\/li>\n                                            <\/ul>\n                                \n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-strategic-communication-faqs\">Strategic Communication FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"acc-flex-container\">\n\t<div class=\"acc-title-container\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\">\n\t\t<button id='block_acf-block-69742bc888b37-acc-row' class='acc-row' type='button' aria-expanded='false' aria-controls='block_acf-block-69742bc888b37_acc-content-panel'>\n\t\t\t<div id='block_acf-block-69742bc888b37-acc-title' class='acc-title'>\n\t\t\t\tWhat is a Strategic Communication degree?\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<img alt=\"\" id='block_acf-block-69742bc888b37-acc-img' class='acc-icon' src='https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/communication\/wp-content\/plugins\/butler-acf-blocks-new\/assets\/images\/nav_main_icon_open.png' \/>\n\t\t<\/button>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div role=\"region\" aria-hidden='true'\n\t\tid='block_acf-block-69742bc888b37-acc-content-panel' class='acc-panel' aria-labelledby=\"block_acf-block-69742bc888b37-acc-row\">\n\t\t<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<p>Butler\u2019s Strategic Communication: PR and Advertising degree explores creating and delivering socially responsible communication to diverse audiences supported by research and strategy.

Others seek careers in corporate communications, where the success of huge marketing plans may hinge on the written word. Some have entered government to serve as a White House liaison or a member of a senator\u2019s or governor\u2019s communications staff.&nbsp;Others find work in the arts, in event planning, in music and entertainment, in fashion, or in digital media.

The truth is that it\u2019s probably both\u2014so in addition to instructing students, faculty also put them in touch with people who count. Butler is well recognized on the national stage; alumni can be found across the country and overseas. Faculty also help introduce students to local professionals by inviting these professionals to provide guest lectures and by partnering with their organizations for class assignments and projects. Further, students can broaden their professional networks through participation in the department\u2019s chapters of the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) and the American Advertising Federation\u2019s student Ad Club, both of which put students in touch with professionals on an ongoing basis. Finally, we are big on internships. More than three-fourths of the department\u2019s juniors and seniors have internships, which often include placements at major PR and advertising agencies, Fortune 500 companies, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, fashion houses, sports teams, and event planning agencies.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n\t\t( function( $ ) {\n\t\t\tlet panel = document.getElementById('block_acf-block-69742bc888b7d-acc-content-panel');\n\n\t\t\t\/*\n\t\t\t * Need to set a value for maxHeight to initialize the accordion properly.\n\t\t\t * If we don't include this conditional, the accordion doesn't nicely transition to open\/close on the first click.\n\t\t\t *\/\n\t\t\tif ( 1 == 0 ) {\n\t\t\t\tpanel.style.maxHeight = 0 == 1 ?

That\u2019s one reason we encourage students to take full advantage of opportunities to study abroad while pursuing their strategic communication degree. More than half of majors do just that and still graduate in four years. In addition to University-based programs, faculty have led short-term study abroad trips to explore strategic communication through a global lens, including to locales such as Shanghai, China and Japan, where students both learn and work while visiting six cities. Several Strategic Communication alumni have found their global experiences so transformational that they have chosen to pursue international careers in places such as Italy, England, and Ireland.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"callout-two-column-billboard__card-link\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/academics\/study-abroad\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"button-solid button-link-right--color-white  t-p1\">\n\t\t<span class=\"button-solid__label\">Global Education<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"callout-two-column-billboard__card\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"callout-two-column-billboard__card-img-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img srcset='https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/10\/2021\/11\/08101930\/dc-lincolnmemorial-300x137.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/10\/2021\/11\/08101930\/dc-lincolnmemorial-768x351.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/10\/2021\/11\/08101930\/dc-lincolnmemorial-1024x468.jpg 1024w, ' alt='lincoln memorial' class='callout-two-column-billboard__card-img' width='1620' height='740' \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"callout-two-column-billboard__card-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"callout-two-column-billboard__card-headline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWashington, DC Learning Semester\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"callout-two-column-billboard__card-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Live, work, and take classes  in the nation\u2019s capital for a semester.
