Department of Mass Media


The Media department of the college has two separate graduate programs running. The programmes are:

  • Mass Communication and Video Production. Estd. 14/09/1995
  • Media Technologies, Estd. 13/06/2001

It was in 1995, St. Anthony’s College started the undergraduate course in Mass Communication and Video Production, the first of its kind in the country, which has a national recognition for excellence and facility. It was in recognition to the pioneering effort of the college that the UGC sanctioned a second professional graduate course in Media Technologies in 2001.

The two courses enable students to find their place among a burgeoning class of media professionals, not merely as multi-skilled technicians, but as individuals with a sound theoretical understanding of the larger social context within which the media industry functions. The department has surely prepared competent professionals in the fields of communication and journalism by instilling also a right sense of intellectual probing and responsibility.
