About the Agricultural Communications, B.S.
Agricultural communications is the practice of communicating to audience segments using a variety of communication channels on topics relevant to agriculture, food, environment, and natural resources. Agricultural communications students learn how to communicate about and advocate for the agricultural industry through comprehensive coursework. The combination of courses in both communications and agricultural sciences prepares our students to successfully communicate with various audiences using multiple media (print, online, video, etc.). Examples of careers in agricultural communications are communications specialist, photographer, lobbyist, editor, reporter, public relations specialist, event planner, videographer, and graphic designer. Agricultural communications majors gain hands-on experience while interning with a variety of professional communication entities, including national publications, television stations, commodity groups, and major agricultural events.
