Communication Studies Department

Mission Statement - Master of Arts Program

The Masters of Arts program in Communication Studies at SF State prepares students for communication-related careers that require an advanced degree. We invite students into a life of engaged scholarly inquiry in communication with a focus on social justice.

Across diverse contexts, graduates of the program are able to critically read, produce, and apply communication research in order to practice collaborative dialogue, to understand differences, and to honor unheard voices. Students and faculty work in community where curriculum and scholarship span the breadth of human interaction and performance.

We practice humane approaches to complex human problems in both local and global communities and attempt to discern ethical choices.
