Universities and schools

Studies on journalism, mass communication and media were expanded over the past two decades. At least 19 universities— 10 public and nine private— are currently offering courses on journalism. One of the reasons behind the increasing opportunity is the growth of mass media in the country that required a huge demand of human resources. Both the public and private universities mainly provide theoretical education and lack adequate practical courses which are much required for journalism students. The institutions that have been accredited to provide journalism education are:
