Abstract:
This research aimed to study the relationship between participation in public relations activities, reputation perception, and the decision to pursue studies in the Faculty of Communication Arts at Assumption University. The sample consisted of 400 Grade 12 students who were interested in participating in the facultys public relations activities. Data were collected via online questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics to compare differences in perception between activity types and to examine the correlation between reputation perception and decision-making. The research findings revealed that: 1) Students who participated in different types of public relations activities perceived the facultys reputation differently in terms of environment, citizenship, and performance, with statistically significant differences at the 0.05 level. Students who joined the School Tour had higher average reputation perception scores in all three aspects than those who attended the on-campus faculty visit. 2) There was no statistically significant difference in the decision to study at the Faculty of Communication Arts between students who participated in different types of public relations activities. 3) There was a statistically significant positive correlation at the 0.01 level between reputation perception and students decision to study at the Faculty of Communication Arts, Assumption University.
