With the growing urge among the people to get information about the happenings in their vicinity as well as across the globe, more and more media and publishing houses have opened up in Gujarat. To cater to these needs Maharaja Sayajirao University launched a two-year programme of Master of Communication Studies in 1997, replacing the Bachelors Program established in 1992.
The Faculty strives to provide intensive theoretical instructions and practical training in Journalism and allied areas.
