Building community through communication
Communities need communicators with passion, skill and relatability to thrive. SDSU’s Master’s in Human Sciences—Family and Community Services online graduate program equips professionals to successfully serve our communities.
Through a 36-credit-hour program, you can earn yourself the knowledge and experience to assist children, adults and families in need. Choose from two program paths — (1) drafting a thesis or dissertation as a capstone to your studies or (2) taking additional elective courses in Family and Community Services.
