Bachelor of Science - Agriculture - Agri-Communications

Agriculture is one of the most important areas students could choose because it addresses a basic human need—food and other natural resources. Agricultural and natural resources industries are changing rapidly, and the need for clear communication and leadership in them has never been greater. The Agri-Communications concentration will prepare students to take charge of their future in agriculture as they blend theory and knowledge from production agriculture with public relations, writing, and digital media production. In today's economic environment, there is a need for people with communication skills who also understand scientific agriculture.

Students who wish to combine their knowledge in agricultural systems with competence in public relations, sales, journalism, photography, and media in providing the public with relevant agricultural information will benefit from the academic opportunities presented in APSU’s Agri-Communications program.

Agriculture courses are delivered in small class settings with individual attention from faculty with experience and expertise in agriculture. Students have an opportunity for hands-on learning at the 440-acre University Farm and Environmental Education Center to study livestock, crops, forestry, wildlife and natural resources.   

APSU faculty who teach courses to Agri-Communications students have a wide variety of research and teaching expertise in Agricultural leadership, education and communications, writing, and Natural Resource Management.
