Friday, September 9, 2011

AFRICAN UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF COMMUNICATIONS: The African University College of Communications (AUCC) is a private tertiary institution dedicated mainly to the study of the media and communication. The AUCC was established in 2001 initially as the Africa Institute of Journalism and Communications (AIJC) by Hon. Kojo Yankah, former editor of Ghana’s widest circulation newspaper, the Daily Graphic, nine years director of the Ghana Institute of Journalism, seven years Minister of State, and eight years Member of Parliament of the Republic of Ghana. The diploma-awarding institute admitted the first batch of 60 students in October 2002, and was formally accredited as a tertiary institution by the National Accreditation Board in March 2004. In November 2007, with a population of 300 students, AIJC was accredited to offer a four-year B.A. degree programme in Communication Studies, under its new name, African University College of Communications – becoming the first university in Africa offering journalism and communication studies as its flagship.
