Home | About AUCC 
The African University College of Communications (AUCC) is an autonomous private institution dedicated mainly to the study of media and communication. AUC started off as the Africa Institute of Journalism & Communications (AIJC), which was established in 2001 by Hon Kojo Yankah, former editor of Ghana’s widest circulation newspaper, the Daily Graphic, one-time director of the Ghana Institute of Journalism, and former Member of Parliament and Minister of State. The diploma-awarding Institute admitted its first batch of 60 students in October 2002 under a collaboration arrangement with the Ghana Institute of Journalism. It was officially accredited as a tertiary institution by the National Accreditation Board in March 2004.
In 2007, AIJC applied for accreditation from the National Accreditation Board to offer a four-year degree programme in affiliation with the University of Ghana, Legon.
