The Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Communications brings Sam Houston State University's School of Agricultural Sciences together with SHSU's nationally-recognized Department of Mass Communication to study broadcast journalism, marketing, and public relations. Students will be prepared to promote the various disciplines within the agricultural industry–from beef cattle to environmental efforts and from food production to sustainable energy.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture expects communicators proficient in multimedia and social media to have the strongest employment prospects in the estimated thousands of agricultural communications job openings in coming years.
