The Faculty of Agribusiness and Communication Sciences (FACS) is located at Nyankpala Campus, about twenty kilometres west of Tamale. It is the newest of the three Faculties at the Campus and was borne out of the Faculty of Agriculture (FoA) in the 2009/10 academic year in response to the current global and national focus on agribusiness and agro-industry as well as communication as important growth tools in the economies of nations.
