Mass Communication

The B. Sc. Mass Communication Programmed began in 2005 as a unit in the Department of English in the then newly created Faculty of Arts. The Programmed was introduced to satisfy the persistently high demand of the course. In other words, right from the first three years of the establishment of the University (2001- 2004), candidates had consistently applied for the course, yet Mass Communication was not among the first set of disciplines that took off with the University. Accordingly, arising from the persistently high demand of the course, Nasarawa State University, Keffi, established the Mass Communication Programmed on 10 March, 2005 when K. S. Akpede was appointed in the Department of English with the mandate to prepare the groundwork for the takeoff of the Department of Mass Communication. In November, 2005, Mallam Sani Rabiu joined the services of the University in the Department of Mass Communication and was appointed Coordinator. The two were the foundation Staff of the Department.

Sequel to the Visit was the recommendation that the Department of Mass Communication had fulfilled conditions for accreditation of the B. Sc. Mass Communication Programmed. The Programmed, following the recommendation of NUC’s Verification panel was therefore accredited in 2008. The Programmed earned full accreditation Resource presentation having scored 81.3%.

The programmed has been re-presented for accreditation in 2015 and is hopeful of earning full accreditation again.
