To complete the program, students take core courses in the Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communication (ALEC) Department, and then select courses in the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources (CASNR) to provide a science-based foundation for their content knowledge. Students then select one of three areas of emphasis for further course work.
The program’s general education requirements provide students a well-rounded introduction to science, communications, humanities and the social sciences. The Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Communication core provides an introduction to the areas of competence required of a professional communicator.
