Advanced Certificate in Publishing
Our new Graduate Certificate in Publishing prepares students from diverse backgrounds for careers in the publishing world, concentrating on editorial, design, marketing, and publicity. The courses are taught by industry specialists who lend their knowledge of current and future trends and offer years of experience and contacts. Classes are small to ensure individual attention.
An important component of the program is the opportunity to complete two internships in well-respected publishing houses and notable agencies. The internships enable students to receive real-world experience, hone their skills, and expand their professional networks.
