College of Communication was founded on May 27, 1947, then called the
School of Public Relations. Since 1947, the college has gone
through many changes in both name (School of Public Relations,
School of Public Relations and Communication, School of Public
Communication, College of Communication) and location (84 Exeter
St. to 640 Commonwealth Ave).
The College of Communication (COM) has three departments:
Advertising/PR/Mass Communication, Film & Television, and
Journalism. It offers BS, MS, and MFA degrees. COM is the home of
AdLab, the
nation's oldest and largest student-run ad agency with real-world
clients; and during the summer, it's home to the 21-year-old
Academy of Media
Production, a four-week high school summer program (formerly
known as iTRP—the Institute for Television, Radio, and Film
Production). The facility at 640 Commonwealth Avenue also houses
Boston University's student-run radio station,
WTBU, and the student-run cable TV station,
butv10.
