Before anything else, here are some facts about OrCom in the Philippines:

  • It is an undergraduate degree founded in 1984 and is currently being offered in the University of the Philippines Manila (UPM) and the De La Salle University Manila (DLSU-M). UPM offered it first as a degree program under the Department of Arts and Communication in the College of Arts and Sciences.
