What is APR?
Accreditation in Public Relations (APR), is the public relations profession’s national post-graduate certification program. APR certifies the PR practitioner’s knowledge of the practice of public relations and is administered by the Universal Accreditation Board.

Any PRSA member in good standing can take on the challenge of earning accreditation. It is recommended that candidates have at least five years' experience in the full-time practice or teaching of public relations, and have earned either a bachelor's degree in a communication-specific field or equivalent work experience.
