2 SECTION A The College of Communication Graduate Program A.1 Mission Statement The mission of the graduate program in the College of Communication at Hawai i Pacific University is to cultivate and promote excellence in communication through learning and research in an environment of cultural and intellectual diversity. We will prepare professionals for a variety of careers in corporate communication, advertising, journalism, public relations, mass media, entertainment, broadcasting, sales, writing, or communication education. Students will gain an understanding of the mass media and its effects worldwide. They will understand and apply research and theory in human interaction. They will investigate the dynamic and creative fields of entertainment, news, imagery, and imagination that are all part of the media. Flexible curricula and interaction with talented and dedicated faculty mentors will allow students to tailor their graduate education to their own professional needs and objectives. We will prepare communication professionals who are aware of, and sensitive to, the need for global understanding. In the classroom, and on our multiple campuses, students from more than a hundred countries will learn with each other and about each other. We will prepare students for further study in the academic discipline and assist them in pursuing further study in law school or doctoral programs. Our curriculum will instruct and challenge our learners. We feel it is as important to question as it is to acquire knowledge. Instruction will encourage critical and analytical thinking so that graduates will become leaders of change and innovation in their respective fields. A.2 Mentor Program Every Communication graduate student will be appointed a mentor. The Communication Graduate Council will assign one member of the graduate faculty to assist and guide you through your graduate experience. You will be notified of this appointment during your initial semester of coursework. It is your responsibility to contact your mentor, stay in touch and ask his or her advice. If you need to change your mentor, submit a written request stating the reasoning behind the change and your preferred choice of a new mentor. Your request should be submitted to the Communication Graduate Council. You will be notified within two weeks of the action on your request. Mentors are not academic advisers. You should still visit the Center for Graduate Studies to obtain advice regarding course schedules, financial aid, registration, and related administrative questions. It is important that you communicate regularly so that he or she is apprised of your progress. Do not be afraid to ask questions or bother your mentor. We are all eager to help and look forward to getting to know you! A2

7 A.5 Graduate Planning Calendar The following calendar shows when each course is usually offered during the year. The schedule is subject to change depending on faculty and room availability. Additional courses may be offered and sections may be cancelled because of low enrollment or in other circumstances. Use the calendar to plan your course of study in advance. For instance, you will note that COM 6000 is offered three times a year so that you may begin the program at any time. However, COM 7200 is not normally offered during the summer so you must plan to finish and defend your paper or thesis by the end of the fall or spring semester. Fall: Spring: Summer II: COM 6000 COM 6000 COM 6000 COM 6010 COM 6050 COM 6050 COM 6050 COM 6060 COM 6100 COM 6060 COM 600 COM 6300 COM 6070 COM 6300 COM 6400 COM 6200 COM 6400 COM 6910 COM 6300 COM 6650 COM 6310 COM 6770 COM 6400 COM 6905 COM 6460 COM 7100 COM 6650 COM 7200 COM 6760 COM 7100 COM 7200 A7
