Reasons A Prospective Student Should Study Mass Communication In Nnamdi Azikiwe University*

Over the years, Mass Communication has evolved to broadly include all aspects of communication studies, including aspects of information technology, film, new media and strategic communication.

These days, the term Mass Communication is slowly paving way to media and communication studies or communication art. In the new unbundling effort by the National Universities Commission (NUC), the department will now be transformed into a school or faculty of communication studies consisting of eight (8) distinct departments including advertising and public relations, journalism studies, and development communication. Thus, presenting new students with a wide range of choice. At the forefront of this change is Nnamdi Azikiwe University’s department of Mass Communication, diligently putting necessary modalities in place to welcome this new development.

Topic: Why a prospective student should study mass communication in Unizik.   

The disheartening news of the demise of my good friend, who died due to mistaken identity is very true. He was murdered by a rival cult group in one of the higher institution in Southern Nigeria; who mistook him for his twin brother who was a cultist.

That was how Chukwuebuka’s life and promising dreams were cut short. We cannot overemphasize the importance of secured and serene environment for people’s learning.

This is the credit area UNIZIK have prioritise with Anti-cult groups working tirelessly to keep the school safe. Quality education is the dream of every prospective admission seeker. There is a common saying that you can only give what you have, meaning that quality education can only come from quality teachers. Department of mass communication UNIZIK is enormously blessed with top professors and senior lecturers of vast experience, yet humble and friendly. She can expose you to the teaching of the first female journalist in West Africa, Mrs Stella Chinyere Okunna which is sure a privilege because she is ever ready and eager to enrich her students with the nutrients of her experience as the first female journalist in West Africa and other host of erudites.

Mass media is an indispensable tool in the study of mass communication.

With this, the practicalization of the course of study is assured as students are given easy access to the FM station.
