Communication Studies at St. Mary’s

The Communication Studies major prepares students in the range of principles and practices of human interaction.

After successful completion of their studies, during required internships and after graduation, students find themselves gaining careers and pursuing graduate study in fields that range as widely as the communication discipline: intrapersonal, interpersonal, group, mass, public, organizational, gender, visual, corporate/industrial and political communications.

All majors learn the basics of effective, ethical and persuasive leadership, which research identifies as the first foundations of success in all endeavors — public and private.
