Abstract

It has been more than two years since the Covid-19 pandemic has hit almost the entire world. The world’s citizens understand that this pandemic has destroyed all aspects of human life, including the world of education, especially higher education. The spirit of high school students wanting to choose and study communication science in higher education is quite high. Although no data and figures have yet been found showing this increasing trend. From two communication studies programs from two different campuses in Medan, namely the Universitas Sumatra Utara (USU) and the Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatra Utara (UMSU), they always get information that the two communication studies programs at different universities always receive an abundance of students compared to other study programs. This study intends to find out what the future of communication science will be after the Covid-19 pandemic seen from the perspective of media practitioners who have been acting as users of communication science graduates. The method of this study is to review some pieces of literature including books, journals, and other relevant sources. The results of this study conclude that at least a serious and radical curriculum change is needed in the communication science study program in universities to answer future challenges after the pandemic.
