   From its humble beginnings in 1983, the Department of Mass Communication is now one of the biggest departments in the School of Arts and Sciences. The department boasts of state-of-the art radio and television studios, advanced production equipment, and faculty members who are a mix of academicians and media practitioners.

   The department offers students four minor programs: Advertising, Broadcast Journalism, Development Communication and Print Journalism. Each minor track features theoretical grounding and skills training developed by experts in each discipline, in order to provide students with knowledge in a specific field, while maintaining a strong core of communication and media subjects.
