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.
