Professional opportunities

Graduates find opportunities in many fields in small communities to large cities. They write and take photographs for newspapers and magazines, prepare radio or television scripts and programs, work in consumer relations with agribusiness firms, serve as extension and experiment station editors,communicate for agencies, edit company magazines and do many other jobs.

Those who like to be outdoors, enjoy working with people and have a flair for communicating will probably do well in this field. Year after year, applied communications offers steadier employment than other communications fields.

Kansas State University students in our program who have performed well in college find many job opportunities with above-average communication salaries open to them. This is especially true for those who had successful internships and have become acquainted with professional communicators through tours, meetings and visits. There has not been a surplus of qualified graduates in this field since the ag option was instituted in 1946. The environmental option also offers excellent opportunities.
