Master of Arts in Intercultural Relations from the University of the Pacific and the Intercultural Communication Institute

From the University of the Pacific's website

The demand for individuals who can effectively manage and harness complex cultural diversity is growing rapidly.

As the world becomes increasingly smaller, and each region more multicultural, success will come only to those professionals who have the skills and understanding to respond appropriately to the challenges of working across cultures in both national and international organizations.

To provide educational support for these individuals, University of the Pacific's School of International Studies has partnered with the Intercultural Communication Institute (ICI) in Portland, Oregon to offer a distinctive Master of Arts degree in Intercultural Relations (MAIR). Designed to prepare students for stimulating new opportunities at home and abroad, or to increase skills in an existing career, our program offers a unique curriculum in a creative format.

University of the Pacific, California's first chartered university (1851), has a distinguished history in both graduate and undergraduate education. The Intercultural Communication Institute has long been a leader in the field of intercultural communication, providing professional development and graduate education for practitioners in the field. The strength of the MAIR program emerges from the School of International Studies' leadership in international education and graduate learning, and the ICI's theoretical and social action approach to intercultural education. Both appreciate the art of translating theory into practice, and share a vision of engaging, developmental learning.
