About UNILAG Mass Communication
A Reminder Of Our Root
The Department of Mass Communication, University of Lagos was established in 1966 following a bilateral agreement between the Federal Government, the United Nations Development Programme, UNDP and United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). It was established as an Institute of Mass Communication with its own Dean, Prof. S. Scotten. The great vision was that of serving as the centre for the training of journalists in the African sub-region.
Initially situated within the University’s Library Complex, the Department was later moved to the Faculty of Arts. This accounts for the awards of Bachelor of Arts (B.A) degrees to its first set of graduates, including those students inherited from the war-ravaged Jackson School of Journalism at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
The Department then an institute awarded professional certificates and diplomas until 1968 when it started awarding degrees.
