Reading Between Worlds: Three Approaches to the Study of Myth

Join us for a special admissions webinar for the M.A./Ph.D. in Mythology and Religious Studies online-only program

What can a fourteenth-century Tibetan hermit, a Greek tragic chorus, the Arthurian grail legends, and a Buddhist goddess tell us about the crisis of meaning in our own time? In this ninety-minute live event, the core faculty of Pacifica Graduate Institute’s newly launched online M.A./Ph.D. in Mythology and Religious Studies invite you into the heart of what this program does: reading the world’s most powerful stories through multiple lenses and discovering that each lens reveals something the others cannot see.

Following the faculty presentations, you will hear a brief overview of the program’s curriculum, online format, dissertation options, and career pathways, and have the chance to ask questions directly of the faculty and admissions staff. Whether you are considering applying for the Fall 2026 cohort or simply want to understand what the study of mythology and religion looks like at the doctoral level, this event will give you a vivid sense of what it means to do this work — and why Pacifica is the only place in the country where you can do it. Applications are currently being accepted, and scholarships — including the Joseph Campbell Scholarship — are available for incoming students.
