Agriculture Communications Certificate

This one-year certificate, delivered entirely online, combines agricultural knowledge with professional communications training. Described by the college as the first program of its kind in Canada, it teaches students to write, produce and manage communications for the agriculture and agri-food sector. Coursework covers professional and technical writing, marketing, multimedia production including videography and audio, public relations, and crisis communications strategy. The asynchronous online format allows students to complete coursework on a flexible schedule, and the program includes work-integrated learning through projects with industry partners. It runs over roughly eight months with a Fall intake and leads to a Certificate in Agriculture Communications. The program suits students combining an interest in agriculture with skills in storytelling, media production and strategic communication for careers in agricultural marketing, public relations and industry communications roles.
