List of UG Courses one can study in Mass Communication Stream

Mass Communication is a means through which an individual or a group of people create a message and thereafter use a medium such that their message can be received by a massive audience at the same time. As the new age dawns, boundaries are transcending and the entire world is often perceived to be a single unified global community.

Many perceive that mass communication is only limited to journalism as a career profile. However, this is far from the truth because mass communication as a stream/field has much more to it. If one pursues mass communication as a degree programme then he/she can join a newspaper, magazine, book publishing house/company, radio channel, television channel, films, PR agency, advertising agency, event management company etc.

Candidates who are interested in pursuing a career in mass communication can consider joining any of the below mentioned courses:
