Makow claims that Asian women stay attractive for longer than Western women. Fascinated by this premise, John figures out a way to test the claim. It involves exceedingly awkward confrontations with his ex-girlfriends and excruciatingly tender moments with their mothers.

What is the difference between a course and a degree? And would the type of degree I take affect what types of courses I could take?

I am majoring in Mass Communications with an emphasis in public relations, and there are several approaches you can take to becoming a PR specialist. Although no particular degree is required, most PR specialists have degrees in Public Relations, Mass Communications, Communications, Marketing, or Journalism. If you do a job search online for PR, these are what majors most employers prefer. A course is a single class taken towards reaching your degree, while a degree is what you earn when you graduate.

As a Mass Comm major with a PR emphasis, you would complete courses like PR layout, design, and editing, Mass Media Ethics, Mass Media and society, Theories and principles of public relations, public relations writing, public relations cases & campaigns, Mass Comm law, etc.

If you want to guarantee the quality of a school’s mass comm program, you can see if it is accredited by the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications (ACEJMC) and you can find a list of these schools at http://www2.ku.edu/~acejmc/STUDENT/PROGLIST.SHTML

Don’t worry if the program at the school you want to attend is not accredited. It is not required, and many unaccredited programs are very good, too.

The most important aspect of getting a PR job is getting a good internship, no matter what your major is. Experience counts. Also, many schools have the Public Relations Student Society of America, and joining this club will give you valuable experience.

Best of Luck.

Whats the difference between public relations and events management? If i choose public relations would i be an eligible employee for an event management job, and vice versa? Which is more broad and better? Thank you!

Public relations pairs up better with journalism.

– "If I choose public relations would I be an eligible employee for an event management job, and vice versa?"

The answer is most likely "no". You’d have to go to school for an Event Management degree. Johnson & Wales college in Rhode Island is the best college to go to for this degree.

Public Relations has to do with representing something and communications with the public as in advertisement. Event Management has to do with planning events.

I’ve accepted my program in University — Political science with a concentration in international relations and I was wondering what the difference between international relations and & development is?
Thanks.

Here are the differences between International Studies, International Development and International Relations. I myself will major in Political Science with a minor in Int Development this fall.

International Development generally focuses on underdeveloped countries and usually includes a regional focus (Africa, Latin America, or Asia, though sometimes you can concentrate a lot on Eastern European countries) and includes an array of courses focusing on anthropology (Ex., Human needs, nutrition history), geography (Ex., the geographies of disease, or the impact of geography on migration), health studies (child and maternal health care), and economics (micro-credit initiatives.)

International Studies is often confused with International Relations, but there are differences here too. International Studies tends to focus on globalization and the relationships between people, economics, media, and other intangible forces that make up our international community. At University of Toronto in Canada for example, you can choose between two "streams" in International Studies:

A) the Communications stream (which includes mandatory courses on international cultures and communication, media and art – say, like, "Media and Popular Culture in East and Southeast Asia") ; and

B) the International Political Economy stream (which includes a focus on international trade and finance, the world bank, development policy, public policies on health/development/economics.)

So the IDS and the IS-Political Economy stream are very similar, but the latter doesn’t include a regional focus, and it also includes developed countries in the analysis of these international relationships. So IDS and IS are not actually the same.

Lastly, International Relations focuses substantially more on political science than it does on economics or sociological movements. International Relations has less to do with the plight of people within countries, and focuses more on the institutions of the state and the relationships between states themselves. Courses generally revolve around the definition of the state, the role of intergovernmental organizations, the resolution of international conflict, etc. It is about the relationships between states themselves, and not the people within those states.

So all are very similar and focus on international relationships of some kind, but basically the first one (IDS) is for people who are interested in helping developing countries (people like me!); the second is for people who are interested in cultural changes or international economics; and the third is more for people who are interested in the relationships between states.
