吃瓜tv is expanding its online graduate programs to accommodate working professionals who want to advance their careers while experiencing the personalized education for which Pacific is known.

The university launched a doctoral program in medical science and health science in January. Master鈥檚 programs in education, cybersecurity, business administration and business law will begin later this year.

Pacific鈥檚 new doctoral program in the School of Health Sciences prepares clinicians for leadership roles in health care or positions in academia.

鈥淭here's such a shortage nationally of healthcare educators,鈥� said Program Director Lindsay Gietzen. 鈥淚t's important that those who have a proven history working in the field take that experience and put the educational theory behind it so they can become educators and train the next generation.鈥� 

Students in the inaugural cohort reside in eight states and come from a wide variety of health professions, including pharmacy, social work, nursing, physical therapy, speech-language pathology and physician assistant.

The unique interprofessional approach鈥攄esigned to maximize patient outcomes鈥攚as one of the draws for Jocelin Friedman, a physical therapist in southern California.

鈥淪o often in health care we can work in silos and not pay attention to what鈥檚 happening in other fields,鈥� Friedman said. 鈥淭o get minds together from different backgrounds, different parts of the country and different types of careers鈥擨'm so excited to network and learn from them.鈥�

Gietzen already sees the impact as students interact in online discussion boards.

鈥淭he discussion is so rich because you're pulling in experts not only from different professions, but also from different stages in their careers. We have some who have been practicing for 30 years, and some have been practicing for three weeks,鈥� she said.

Jason Prevelige, a physician assistant in Connecticut, also has found something he wasn鈥檛 expecting in an online program鈥攁 strong connection to faculty.

鈥淭he faculty has been really engaged and hands-on, and the program director is making great efforts to get to know each of us individually,鈥� Prevelige said. 鈥淚 already feel that personal connection.鈥�

The 15-month program can be completed in 12 months if students qualify for advanced standing by previously graduating from an accredited clinical education program.

for the next cohort, which begins Jan. 2024. 

Educators, consultants, coaches and others looking to develop innovative teaching and learning methods can enroll in a new master鈥檚 program offered through Benerd College in Learning, Innovation and Design.
 
鈥淭his program is designed not only for people who work in K-12 education but those teaching in any capacity,鈥� said Karen Sarafian, program lead and assistant professor of practice. 鈥淪tudents will collaborate to develop new ways of thinking鈥攃onsidering how we might shift from 鈥榦ut of the box鈥� to 鈥榖eyond the box.鈥欌��

The two-year program will begin in the fall of 2023. Classes are entirely online with live, weekly, virtual sessions in the evenings to accommodate working professionals. During the cohort-based program, students will build community and learn from and with each other. 

Two certificate options鈥斺�攁re available to students seeking to develop new skills without committing to the full master鈥檚 degree. 

Those who earn a certificate are eligible to apply units toward a future Master of Arts in Education, Learning, Innovation and Design.

Pacific鈥檚 new master鈥檚 program in cybersecurity launches summer 2023 to meet the growing demand for cybersecurity professionals.

With a focus on cyber operations (a blend of computer science and computer and electrical engineering), students are prepared for jobs such as software security engineer and digital forensic examiner.

Students do not need undergraduate degrees in computer science or engineering to enroll; an introductory bootcamp course provides the necessary technical skills.

The program can be completed in one to two years and is entirely online with options to attend community-building activities on the San Francisco Campus.

Entrepreneurs, business professionals and anyone who regularly manages legal issues or interacts with lawyers can advance their careers with McGeorge School of Law鈥檚 new online program.

The master鈥檚 degree program with a concentration in business law provides a comprehensive understanding of legal matters for professionals who do not need to be lawyers.

The program will launch in the fall and can be completed in one to two years, depending on whether a student is part-time or full-time. 

The Eberhardt School of Business will offer three unique concentrations in its master鈥檚 program: health care, business analytics and finance. 

The program launches in fall 2023 and can be completed in as little as 18 months. The flexible, online format includes two weekend residences on Pacific鈥檚 San Francisco Campus, providing valuable networking opportunities for students.
