The Arnold School of Public Health offers the Master of Communication Disorders (MCD) degree using distance education. The MCD was developed to assist the South Carolina State Department of Education with its plan to upgrade bachelor’s-level public school speech correctionists to the master’s degree, as required by federal law (PL 99-457). The program was eventually made available to residents of other states.

All programs in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders (Master of Communication Disorders; Master of Speech Pathology, Doctorate of Philosophy) are accredited by the Educational Standards Board and Professional Services Board of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Therefore, its graduates are eligible for national certification, state licensure, and certification by the public schools of South Carolina.

As an integral component of the College of Arts and Sciences, the communication degree program will be recognized for its rigor and integrity, the faculty for its excellence in teaching, professional service and research scholarship. The program is designed to support the overall mission of the University by enhancing the intellectual, cognitive, ethical, cultural, professional and social development of our students. Students will employ critical and creative thinking; be philosophically, technologically and culturally literate, be effective communicators and be appreciative of the visual and performing arts and humanities. Students will respect others through understanding ethnic, racial, gender, cultural and ideological differences and will work cooperatively and collaboratively. Aware of the rights and responsibilities of our democratic society, they will be educated to communicate productively within the family, the community, the nation and the world.

The Department (formerly, Department of Journalism) has been preparing students for successful careers in the field since its founding in 1977.

The Department of Communication, directed by Patrizia Violi and whose Scientific Committee is chaired by Umberto Eco, promotes research initiatives, discussions and exchanges on themes in semiotics and cognitive science, fields of inquiry which traverse traditional sub-divisions and boundaries of disciplinary fields in science and the humanities. Their intersection delimits an area which requires co-operation across wide range of different disciplines: from linguistics to psychology, from philosophy to artificial intelligence.
The Department organizes conferences, seminars, workshops, courses and summer and fall schools, offering an environment for interdisciplinary discussion and exchange of ideas between scholars, graduate and doctoral students, professors and researchers from all over the world. Conferences are co-organized from time to time with institutions in other countries with which a formalized cooperation and exchange relationship has been established. Particular emphasis is placed on topics related to the problem of memory, a field in which the University of San Marino, through the Young Fund and other initiatives in the Republic of San Marino, is creating its own scientific profile.
Schools consist of a series of intensive, high-level specialist courses, taught by internationally acclaimed professors, and provide a great deal of time for discussion and practical work. At the present time there are two such schools: a Summer School, focused on general themes, and an Autumn School, on more specifically semiotic topics.
Among the activities of the Department, the biennial Master Course “The Professional Communication” is targed to small company, commerce and public administration operators, with particular attention to the San Marino local reality. The Master is aimed at offering participants an opportunity of cultural growth and professional training on the various themes and problems of the communication world (from visual to interpersonal and company communication, from writing to new technologies, etc.)
The Department is also involved in editorial activities, which at present consist of publication of our conference proceedings in the Brepols series “Semiotic and Cognitive Studies”. Volumes published in this series to date are as follows:
