The following year august 2014, The Mass Communication Program formally started operating as a seperate college that offers the degree under the nomenclature, Bachelor of arts in Communication in October 2015, The college liberal arts program will force another PACUCOA preliminary visit for level II accreditation.
The Department of Mass Communication was established in 1979, four years after the dedication of New Era University. During that time, it was just a Program under the College of Arts and Sciences. A number of courses existed with it namely, Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. Students were enrolled in a general education system wherein they were taking the general curriculum in their First and Second Years, and they would go on to their different majors in their Third and Fourth Year.
The first Mass Communication Class was composed of only twelve students who later became the first graduates of the Program. The CEM Building served as their first school building.
Together with the celebration of the Iglesia ni Cristo’s Centennial Year, the Mass Communication Program has finally achieved one of its greatest dream – to have this as a College. It was last July 17, 2014 when the Church Administration finally handed this grant to the University. The College of Communication spinning off from the College of Arts and Sciences is the brain child of our dear Chair and member of the Board of Trustees, the husband and wife tandem of our beloved Atty. Dorothy Kristine Manalo Orosa and Atty. Theoben Jerdan Orosa. The directive was directly implemented by our dear President, Dr. Nilo L. Rosas. The official logo of COC follows the standard wherein the emblem and the upper portion (rising sun) symbolize the identity of the University. The other half of the logo represents the College. The signal waves before the letter “C” indicates the nature of communication which is sending verbal and non-verbal messages through diverse media platforms. It also indicates the dynamism of the discipline of Communication. While the colors of the signal waves: green, white, and red connotes the adherence of the college to the Philosophy, Vision and Mission of the University in providing quality education to the students.
