MA/MS in Publishing

Thirty-six credits of coursework combine with practical experience in this master's degree, which prepares students for careers in book and media publishing. Students build skills on the creative side, such as acquiring and editing material for print and digital formats, and on the commercial side, including marketing, publicity, sales, finance and business development. Scheduling is flexible. Full-time students attend evening classes three or four nights weekly, which suits people already employed in the field. Instructors are working publishing professionals, among them publishers, editors and senior executives, so students gain exposure to current strategy and chances to network. An advisory board of top executives and distinguished graduates further enriches the experience.
