HISTORY OF COLLEGE OF COMMUNICATION 





The Department of Mass Communication was established in 1979, four years the dedication of New Era University. During that time, it was 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.







OFFICIAL LOGO




The official logo of COC follows the standard wherein the emblem and the upper portion symbolize the identity of the University. The other half of the logo represents the College.

The  letter “C” is very prominent which stands for “Communication”. It is also in color blue text which is adapted to the official color of the Iglesia Ni Cristo Centennial Celebration (2014), the same year when the College was established.

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.
