Ready to turn your passion for digital media, journalism and film into a career in which you can impact the world and make a difference in your communities? Communication studies may be the best major for you.
Communication studies at Saint Martin's is an interdisciplinary program that uses critical and cultural studies to understand the central role of communication in society, with a focus on social justice. Shaped by the Benedictine values of stewardship, community, and listening, the program utilizes accessible media technologies to encourage creativity and build a solid foundation for a wide array of professional endeavors.
Saint Martin's University in Lacey, Washington is one of 14 Benedictine colleges and universities in the United States and Canada, and the only one west of the Rocky Mountains. Established in 1895 by monks of the Roman Catholic Order of Saint Benedict, our identity as a university is rooted in our Catholic, Benedictine tradition. Saint Martin's is a member of the Independent Colleges of Washington.
Guided by the principles of the Catholic Intellectual Tradition, Saint Martin’s University endeavors to unite academic rigor and excellence with moral thought and social responsibility – higher education that seeks to serve and promote the common good – higher education that seeks to transform lives by grappling with issues of Faith, Reason, Service, and Community. We come together, faculty, staff, and students, to form a community of individuals who are learning to live a meaningful life. Saints think, pray, serve, play and live with heart.
The charisms of Community and Balance are uniquely demonstrated and fostered in Benedictine spirituality:
St. Benedict called his monks into a community – a shared life of prayer, work, and study. Benedict was convinced that everything we need to learn about loving God, loving each other, and loving ourselves – is done in the context of community. Benedictine community, while being the antidote to individualism, always has a reverence for uniqueness. By design, we stand shoulder to shoulder with people who may actually be very different from ourselves – this is viewed as an asset – not a hindrance.
Balancing the life of the mind with the life of the spirit and body is decidedly Benedictine. The Rule of St. Benedict distinctly carves out time for prayer, work, and study for all members of the community. This Benedictine balance is reflected in our core themes of Faith, Reason, and Service. At Saint Martin’s we strive to nurture and develop the entire person through excellent and integrated academic, spiritual, athletic and other co-curricular programs.
Our goal is to graduate students who have a life-long passion for learning, are dedicated to developing their spiritual selves, and have a palpable commitment to service that seeks to establish a peaceful and socially just order in our world.
Saint Martin's University is a comprehensive institution offering undergraduate and graduate-level programs. Established in 1895, Saint Martin’s is the educational apostolate of Saint Martin’s Abbey, a Benedictine monastery of the Roman Catholic Church, whose members pray, work and live together on the University’s campus.
Saint Martin's University is regionally accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. Accreditation of an institution of higher education by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality evaluated through a peer-review process. An accredited college or university is one which has available the necessary re¬sources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation.
Accreditation by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of every course or program offered or the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities avail¬able to students who attend the institution.
Our undergraduate civil engineering and mechanical engineering programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET; our education programs are accredited by the Washington State Board of Education and the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Accreditation (CAEP); our social work programs are accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE); our School of Business has been accredited by the Accreditation Council of Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP); the nursing program is a member of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN); the RN to BSN program is approved by the Washington State Nursing Care Quality Assurance Commission; the baccalaureate degree program in nursing at Saint Martin’s University is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.
The University is a member of the American Association of Colleges’ Association of Higher Education, Council for Independent Colleges, Council for the Advancement and Support of Education, Independent Colleges of Washington, National Catholic Education Association, Northwest Association of Private Colleges and Universities, Washington Friends of Higher Education, Service Members Opportunity Colleges and American Association of Benedictine Colleges and Universities.
Saint Martin's University programs of study are approved by the Washington State Higher Education Coordinating Board’s State Approving Agency (HECB/SAA) for enrollment of people eligible to receive educational benefits under Title 38 and Title 10.

Saint Martin’s University reserved the right to make changes it deems necessary in procedures, policies, calendars, curriculum, overall academic programs or majors and costs.
To meet the continued needs of the Saint Martin's community, the Office of Institutional Advancement works hard to bring these dreams to life. Through coordinated efforts and collaboration, campaigns are designed around the initiatives set forth by our Board of Trustees to provide the Saint Martin's community with the resources needed to continue to meet the expectations of our students.
To meet the increasing needs of students seeking STEM degrees, Saint Martin's University joins a national movement to increase America's science and math graduates with our Science Initiative campaign. Washington State has one of the highest concentrations of STEM jobs in the country, but we are one of the lowest states for producing these graduates. Saint Martin's new science building will be strategically located next to Cebula Hall and the Panowicz Foundry, creating a STEM triangle on campus.
The Engineering Initiative was a successful campaign to improve the facilities of the School of Engineering. Completed in 2012 and 2016, respectively, Cebula Hall and the Panowicz Industrial Lab house Saint Martin’s engineering labs and features unique collaborative work environments for students to maximize their educational experience.
In celebration of Saint Martin's University's 125th anniversary, we are proud to announce a comprehensive fundraising initiative to help fund and support the next 125 years at Saint Martin's. Starting in late 2019, Saint Martin's University will be celebrating with numerous events that will engage alumni, supporters, current students, staff and faculty to facilitate support for the comprehensive campaign.
We, the faculty, staff, trustees, and administration at Saint Martin’s University pledge to provide our students nothing short of the very best education, one that is holistic in nature, and collaborative and integrative in approach.
