LMU runs related programmes that share career territory with Mass Communication. English Language is the closest match at this institution, with cut-offs from 226 for the 2026 cycle.
Switching institutions for a specific course is a common path in the Nigerian admission system. The change-of-institution window during the JAMB cycle lets candidates pivot before the post-UTME stage, and many candidates carry their first-choice score across to a more suitable institution.

Why some universities do not offer every course
Not every Nigerian university offers every JAMB-listed course. Universities are either comprehensive, covering most disciplines, or specialised, focusing on a narrower range such as technology, agriculture or theology.
The National Universities Commission accredits each programme separately, and the absence of a course in an institution's catalogue usually reflects either the institution's strategic focus or the fact that the NUC has not yet approved that specific programme for the institution. LMU's current catalogue is shaped by the institution's strategic focus and the programmes the NUC has accredited so far which is why Mass Communication sits outside the LMU undergraduate offer.
Frequently asked questions
Does LMU offer Mass Communication for postgraduate study?
Mass Communication is not currently in the LMU undergraduate catalogue tracked in this guide. Postgraduate availability is a separate question handled by the institution's school of postgraduate studies, and should be confirmed on the official LMU portal.
When might LMU add Mass Communication to its programmes?
New undergraduate programmes require National Universities Commission accreditation and the development of curricula, faculty and infrastructure. There is no public timeline for LMU adding Mass Communication, and candidates targeting the course should plan around institutions that already offer it.
What is the closest alternative to Mass Communication at LMU?
English Language at LMU is the closest related programme in the current catalogue. It shares the academic foundation with Mass Communication, and may suit candidates with related career goals.
How do I check NUC-approved courses at LMU?
The National Universities Commission publishes the full list of accredited programmes at each Nigerian university. Use the NUC database or the official LMU admissions portal to confirm the latest accredited programmes before applying for any course.
Can I transfer to study Mass Communication elsewhere after starting at LMU?
Inter-university transfers in Nigeria are possible but bureaucratic, and typically require strong academic standing in the first year. A cleaner route is to apply directly to an institution that offers Mass Communication, either as a first choice from the start or via the change-of-institution window during the JAMB admission cycle.
