Introduction

MA Communication is a Masters program taught at Saint Mary's College of California, USA. Intake: Fall start; Spring start. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time (accelerated one-year program) options.

The Master of Arts in Communication at Saint Mary’s College of California is an accelerated one-year program focused on applied research. Students build a year-long research project on a topic of their interest, combining communication theory, quantitative data skills, and their own career interests. The curriculum centers on communication challenges and opportunities relevant to professional settings across fields and industries.

Students may follow different course plans, including an intensive Fall start or a Spring start that reduces the overall workload in the research portion of the program. The program also includes a Travel Externship, with students working on an intercultural communication project in partnership with an international organization during their final June.
