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 their 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.

Distance Education Marketing

The Office of Distance Education employs a full-time Marketing Coordinator, who consults with departments and colleges to develop comprehensive marketing strategies for their distance programs. Our services include brochure and flyer design, press release and article writing, marketing analysis and more.

The office also offers promotional material for use by departments. Please contact ODE for distance education t-shirts for potential students and button-down shirts for faculty and staff to wear when attending conferences or interacting with the public. Factuly/Staff shirts are available in men's and women's styles and in multiple sizes. Contact ODE for more information.
