A minor in agricultural sciences and natural resources communications prepares students for careers in communications and public service roles in the agricultural, natural resources, forestry, and environmental sciences disciplines. This minor allows for students who may be well-versed in the technical knowledge of their science-based agriculture or natural resources discipline to effectively communicate vital information about agriculture and natural resources to a multitude of audiences. Minor requirements provide students a diverse education combining skills and knowledge in agricultural, environmental and natural resources sciences, the social sciences, speech communication, photography, new media communication, and writing. Students will practice effectively communicating issues, research, policy, products, and regulations in their related fields.
