<p>The Communications and Culture major looked promising, but it doesn’t seem to put you on the right track for mass comm, public relations, advertising, etc. and you’re required to take a foreign language. is there a better major for mass comm at iu?</p>
<p>Other options are:</p>
<p>The Business department (Kelley school) offers the following two majors:
Business Communications; and
Marketing</p>
<p>The Telecommunications department offers the following three majors:
Media and Society
Design and Production (of Media messages)
Industry and Management (of Media outlets/advertising firms)</p>
<p>and probably closest to what you have in mind, the Journalism Department offers a journalism major that can be specifically tailored to either public relations or advertising. Here are a few of the courses you can choose from:
[Bachelor</a> of Arts in Journalism Indiana University School of Journalism](<a href=“http://journalism.indiana.edu/undergraduate/undergraduate-academics/ba-in-journalism/]Bachelor”>http://journalism.indiana.edu/undergraduate/undergraduate-academics/ba-in-journalism/)</p>
<p>Note the ones in Public Relations Writing, Public Relations Campaigns, Advertising as Communication, Media Management and Public Relations Management.</p>
<p>The nice thing about IU-B is that you can take classes from all three areas and have them count in other majors.</p>
<p>For example, my son is in the business school–yet one of his business legal studies courses was “Communications Law”–a Journalism Course. He also took a course on Design and Production of Media (from the Telecommunications Department) as one of his optional courses during his freshman year.</p>
