History & Mission
Our History
The New England School of Communications® began as the New England
School of Broadcasting in 1981, to train students for positions in the
broadcasting and allied fields. From a downtown location NESB purchased
the "Broadcast House" in 1983, and an up-to-date facility was built.
The move proved to be temporary as the School grew rapidly. In 1985,
NESB moved to a facility on the campus of Husson College and continued
to grow by providing housing, dining, a gymnasium and other campus
amenities.
In 1997, NESCom® merged with Husson College and became a wholly owned
subsidiary. In 2001, a new Communication Center was established for the
school with a new wing added in 2004. In 2008 Husson College became
Husson University. The 140 acre campus at Husson University is an
attractive setting for the NESCom® program.
Our Mission
The New England School of
Communications® prepares students for careers in the broad field of
communications. We educate students in the applied technology and
content consistent with the platforms that they will be using in their
professions. Our instruction is designed to give students not only the
critical knowledge but also the technical skills they will need to be
successful in their chosen careers.

The faculty, staff and administration of NESCom® share these values in pursuing our educational mission.

Technology-Based
Technology is of extreme importance in the communications industry and
we strive to train students with equipment and software that is
currently in use.
Work Ethic
A strong work ethic and sense of humility are important characteristics
that will help our students to be successful in the work force.
Broad-based Learning
Educating our students across a variety of media platforms broadens
students’ abilities and allows them a wider range of future
opportunities.
Life Skills
Creativity and problem solving capabilities, crucial in our college
environment and in the communications industry, are taught and modeled
by faculty.

Delivering value to our students for the tuition they pay is an obligation our school takes seriously.
Diversity
Accepting students from a broad range of academic, economic and
cultural backgrounds and giving them a fair opportunity to succeed
enriches not only the life of our students but also the college. |
