BA/BS in Print and Digital Publishing

The Print and Digital Publishing minor at Simon Fraser University gives students an applied grounding in the editorial, design, technology, and management aspects of contemporary publishing, aimed at students majoring in another subject. Coursework covers publication design and print production, understanding markets and readers, and the Canadian publishing industry, alongside broader topics such as writing, editing, copyright, policy, and marketing for books, magazines, and journals in both print and online formats. The minor requires a minimum of 28 units, made up of at least 12 lower-division units and at least 16 upper-division units chosen from Publishing (PUB) courses. It is intended for students who want practical publishing skills and industry knowledge to complement a degree in another field, preparing graduates for editorial, production, marketing, and management roles across print and digital publishing.
