Overview
Images don’t happen by themselves. Before celebrities step out on the red carpet at Academy Awards time, every detail -- clothes, accessories, makeup, and hair -- is carefully crafted. But image management isn’t reserved for Hollywood stars. It’s a tool used by every political figure, government agency, or business you can think of.
If you’d like to be the person pulling the strings behind the scenes, a major in public relations (PR) may be just the ticket.
