Recruiting & Marketing Tips

Texas A&M actively advertises its DE programs through the TAMU home page, press releases, print advertisements, direct mail, brochures, flyers, and other advertising items. Brochures can be prepared for faculty who wish to distribute these at meetings or through the mail. Departments planning to run paid advertising for thier distance programs should contact the Office of Distance Education. In some cases the Office may share a portion of the advertising cost with the department. Contact the Marketing Coordinator as early as possible for approval.
