The Department of Mass Communication was established in August 2017 as one of the pioneer departments in the School of Social Sciences (SOSS) of Christopher University. As a pioneer, the Department commenced academic activities during the 2017/2018 academic session in October 2017 with a total of 11 pioneer students.

The Department runs a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) Degree programme for only regular students as well as Direct Entry into the regular programme. A Diploma Programme is also available for students interested in benefiting from the short professional training, preparatory for the degree programme. The four-year degree programme is for UTME candidates and three-year degree programme for Direct Entry candidates.

The Mass Communication programme offers students a broad-based liberal education in communication studies that prepares the students for career advancement in a variety of professional areas and occupations. The programme equips students to launch out, upon graduation, as independent actors, entrepreneurs and innovators ready for the industry and relevant to the larger economy. For those who would aspire for advanced studies, the programme also provides a solid academic foundation upon which to grow this aspiration.

The Department of Mass Communication desires to produce graduates imbued with self-discipline, excellence in character and learning, who will be great ambassadors in hard work and high productivity.
