Curriculum in Agricultural Communications and Journalism
Curriculum in Agricultural Communications and Journalism is administered by the Department of Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communications. The program prepares students for careers in agricultural communications. Graduates are employed by agricultural businesses, industries and associations; by agriculture-related organizations; by government agencies at all levels; and by all types of communication media: magazines, the Internet, television and radio stations, and newspapers.
Students who wish to develop specific career plans may do so in consultation with their Agricultural Communications and Journalism advisor. With approval of the advisor and the dean’s office, substitutions may be made in the required scientific and technical agriculture courses to help meet the student’s goals.
Students are expected to be proficient in the use of computer keyboards for writing.
