DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATION MEDIA
ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
In 2004, Auxilium College launched a novel Postgraduate Degree called the Electronic Media, affiliated with Thiruvalluvar University, under the Semester Pattern. The Department of Electronic Media building was erected as the Golden Jubilee Memorial of the College. The course commenced with just 10 students and two staff members. In 2007, the College obtained its Autonomy and a new syllabus was framed for this Course, (CBCS) under the choice-based credit system. In 2008, the Department of Electronic Media started a feeder course, the Undergraduate Degree Course – B.Sc. Visual Communication, with 24 students, thus the Department gradually took its root.
