al of communication in a changing world, our young generation should know the techniques of modern communication using print and electronic media to interact and gratify society. Sabur Khan, Chairman Board of Trustees of Daffodil International University, in March 2007, Mr. Sbur Khan discussed the issue with the then Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. Aminul Islam and delegated the responsibility to talk with Dr. Golam Rahman to join the newly opened Department at the university. To provide the students with hands-on training, a Media Lab was set up in 2010. In the following years, state-of-the-art facilities for post-production and radio broadcasting facilities were introduced in the department. Around one thousand students have completed BSS and MSS degrees from the department and are working in different local, national, and international print electronic media houses and organizations with great fame and honor. Our regular BSS programs with 08 semesters and a regular MSS program of three semesters (one year) combine an emphasis on communication theory and research methods along with new technologies including desktop publication, digital radio and television journalism, policy implications, and practical applications. Graduates will go on to positions of leadership and responsibility in media corporations, new business ventures, public relations departments, government, and nonprofit organizations, as well as academia and research. Students with diverse educational and cultural backgrounds from across the country come together to complete our BSS and MSS programs that emphasize participation in seminars and symposia, internships, field research in organizations, special workshops, group research projects, e-learning, and independent study. The academic degrees are flexible enough to allow students a wide degree of latitude in designing their programs of study. Our top-ranked faculty members are drawn from a wide range of academic disciplines and include distinguished scholars and researchers from different public universities, editors of leading newspapers, officers in prestigious national and international professional associations, and highly respected consultants to government and private industry. Faculty members work closely with students, often on exciting joint research projects.
