What is the difference between these two programs - Bachelor in Mass Media and Bachelor in Mass Communication?

Hi Joy, Both Mass media and Mass Communication are different in its function but both are inter-dependent. In Layman's term, Mass communication is the information for the public / huge masses and Mass media is the channel through which this piece of information is spread across. All the best

<p>Both Bachelor in Mass Media (BMM) and Bachelor in Mass Communication (BMC) are undergraduate degree programs that focus on media and communication, but they may differ in their curriculum, course offerings, and specific areas of emphasis. BMM primarily emphasizes various aspects of media, including print, electronic, and digital media. It covers a wide spectrum of media-related subjects, such as journalism, advertising, public relations, radio, television, film, and digital media. Graduates of BMM programs can pursue careers in journalism, advertising, public relations, content creation, media management, and related fields. BMM programs are designed to produce media experts who can work in various media-related roles, from journalism to media planning and content creation.&nbsp;</p><p>BMC programs place a broader emphasis on communication in diverse contexts. While they cover media, they also address communication in non-media areas, including interpersonal communication, organizational communication, public communication, and mass communication. The curriculum is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of communication theory, practice, and research. It encompasses media-related subjects but also explores broader communication concepts. Graduates of BMC programs have a wider range of career opportunities. They can work in media and journalism roles, but they are also prepared for positions in corporate communication, public relations, event management, marketing, and other communication-related fields.&nbsp;</p>

Well, both are quite similar and many subjects in all the semester are similar to each other. Only difference I found is in B. M. you get option to choose from advertising or journalism in last 2 semister will be depend on what you choose, if you choose journalism you will get subject accordingly and if you choose advertising then, it is specialisation in B. M. where in B.M.C. its not there. If you wanna become journalist you can choose B. M. but doing B.M.C. also you can be journalist.

The only difference is the syllabus. The courses typically for mass communication focus on mass communication, media research, development communication etc. Including journalism. But, B.J. MC syllabus covers all type of media including new media.
