Marketing Communications (Agriculture) Program

The interdisciplinary Marketing Communications major integrates coursework on advertising, public relations, sales promotion, direct marketing, personal selling and cyber marketing. Students develop knowledge and skills in oral, written, and visual modes of communication.

In addition to an introductory course and senior seminar in Marketing Communications, students will take courses from as many as seven departments in three colleges. Practical experience with current technology and a required internship program ensure that students have not only strong academic preparation, but also practical experience in marketing communications activities.
