Background
Modern agriculture, with its diversity and specialization, requires accurate communication between the industry's segments and with the general public. Education in agriculture and journalism trains the agricultural communications student to provide the necessary communications link. Oklahoma State University's agricultural communications' program is one of the nation's best. With deep roots stretching back to OSU's first offering of agricultural journalism in 1927, the program today is housed within the Department of Agricultural Education, Communications, and Leadership.Careers
