Join us for an evening with the faculty and alumni of Pacifica Graduate Institute\u2019s newly launched online M.A.\/Ph.D. in Mythology and Religious Studies \u2014 the only doctoral program in the country dedicated to the cross-disciplinary and multicultural study of mythology and religion in dialogue with depth psychology, now offered in a fully online format that brings this distinctive education to students anywhere in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this live online session, you will meet members of the program\u2019s core faculty and hear directly from current students and alumni about what it is like to pursue advanced study in myth, religion, and contemplative traditions at Pacifica. We will offer an overview of the program\u2019s curriculum and structure, including its four areas of emphasis \u2014 mythology and religious traditions, myth and literature, depth psychology and culture, and research \u2014 and walk through the new online format, including weekly live sessions, optional in-person retreats, dissertation pathways, and the unique cohort community that has long defined a Pacifica education.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, this is your opportunity to ask questions. Whether you are wondering about admissions requirements, balancing graduate study with work and family, the difference between the M.A. and Ph.D. tracks, dissertation possibilities, career pathways, financial aid, or simply what daily life as a Pacifica student looks like, the faculty and alumni will be available to answer your questions directly.<\/p>\n

This program is designed for educators and future professors, writers and editors, chaplains and spiritual care providers, creatives and consultants, nonprofit leaders, therapists, and lifelong learners who seek to integrate the study of myth, religion, and contemplative traditions into meaningful personal and professional lives. If you have ever sensed that the world\u2019s oldest stories carry wisdom we urgently need today, this is an invitation to learn how Pacifica can help you bring that calling into focus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
