History
On June 19, 1965, the Institute of Mass Communication was established by Republic Act No. 4379, and formally began operations on August 23,1966. Offered initially were Journalism courses as part of the AB Journalism program. Later on, the AB Broadcast Communication and its subsequent graduate studies program were instituted.
The IMC transferred from the College of Arts and Sciences building (Palma Hall), to its current home in Plaridel Hall on September 9, 1969.
On April 7, 1975, the AB Communication Research program was established.
Starting in AY 1982 - 1983, the PhD in Communication program began to be offered. Alongside the addition of the PhD program, the baccalaureate offerings were rationalized into a singular BA Communication program majoring in either journalism, broadcast communication, and communication research. Likewise, a singular MA Communication program was also established offering majors in the 3 fields.
The BA Film and Audiovisual Communication program would be also be offered starting AY 1984 - 1985.
On December 1, 1987, the DZUP would be placed under the management of the IMC upon its reactivation.
On April 28, 1988, the IMC became the College of Mass Communication upon the confirmation of the Board of Regents.
In 2001, the Master's programs majoring in Broadcast Communication and Journalism changed their names from to MA Media Studies to " give emphasis to the study of media as a consciousness industry and as a cultural practice."
The following year, Film was added as a new specialization under the MA Media Studies program alongside the institution of the BA Film program. The BA Media Studies program would also be disestablished the same year to produce the BA Broadcast Communication and BA Journalism degrees alongside BA Film.
In 2012, the MA Journalism was created alongside the PhD in Media Studies to be offered by the Department of Journalism and Department of Graduate Studies, respectively.[1]
