What would I major in?

<p>I want to work for non-profit organizations by publicizing their causes (mainly for the environment, animal rights, and homelessness). What would I have to major in? I know it falls under communications, but may I have more specifics? Please and thank you!</p>

<p>I think the relevant majors are communications, public relations, marketing, and journalism.</p>
