History
A year after the declaration of Philippine Martial Law in the 1970's, the Philippine College of Commerce offered a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication (ABMC).
When PCC was converted into Polytechnic University of the Philippines in 1978, the curriculum for communication studies was transferred to the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. In 1979, the Bachelor in Business Journalism Curriculum (BBuJ) was formulated. It was followed by Bachelor in Broadcast Journalism (BBrJ).
The Senate Bill No. 1791 creating the Mass Communication Center of the Philippines was finally approved by the Senate Committee on Public Information and Mass Media. This mandated the creation of a building to be used by the PUP to train students of communication as well as to conduct researches on the said field. On October 1993, the Department of Mass Communication was housed in the Mass Communication Center.
The bachelor degrees in Broadcast Communication and Journalism programs were accredited by the Accrediting Agency for Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP) in 1996. On that same year, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) recognized the Department as a Center of Excellence in the discipline of communication.
Two years after the bachelor degrees in broadcast communication and journalism were given Level II Accreditation Status, the Department of Mass Communication was elevated as the College of Communication. The Department's mother college, the College of Languages and Mass Communication, was renamed College of Languages and Linguistics. The College has two academic departments: the Department of Broadcast Communication and the Department of Journalism. Today, the undergraduate programs of the College enjoy Level III Accreditation Status (national level) from AACCUP.
In 2006, the Bachelor in Communication Research was offered at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines, through the College of Communication. With 38 students who graduated as pioneers, the communication research program is the third of its kind in the Southeast Asian region, after the University of the Philippines Diliman (UP-D), and the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.
The official publication of the college is "The Communicator".
