The Department of Community and Leadership
Development supports two undergraduate degrees. Within each of these
programs there are two options, offering students a wide variety of employment
opportunities.
COMMUNITY COMMUNICATIONS AND LEADERSHIP
DEVELOPMENT
It’s a mouthful of a name,
but it opens a world of opportunities. Community Communications and
Leadership Development is an interdisciplinary social science major.
In this program you’ll learn to integrate communications, sociology,
journalism, and community development theories and apply them to
real-world situations involving local communities and agricultural
organizations.
The major focuses on
written and oral communication skills; strategic problem solving;
critical thinking; understanding of group, organizational, and
community dynamics; and ethical decision-making.
Students can earn a B.S.
degree in
Community
Communications and Leadership Development (CCLD)
and specialize
in either Agricultural Communications or
Public Service and
Leadership. The CCLD program is housed entirely in the
department.
Career and Technical Education
Students can also choose a B.S.
degree in
Career and Technical Education
and specialize in either Agricultural Education within our department or
Family and Consumer Sciences Education within the
Department of Family Studies.
