College of the Pacific
Graduate Studies
The Communication Department offers graduate-level instruction leading toward the Master of Arts degree.
The degree program combines training in communication theory, methodology and practice for students who desire knowledge and skills for solving work-related communication problems and for students who intend to enter doctoral programs.
The program offers three concentrations of study—Communication Education, Political Communication, and Media and Public Relations—each of which integrates coursework from related disciplines, providing graduate students with an interdisciplinary approach to the study of communication.
Each concentration is designed for students who regard knowledge of communication as important for their chosen professional careers but may or may not hold a bachelor’s degree in communication.
