The Master of Professional Studies (MPS) in Publishing gives students a solid background in all areas of publishing, ensuring that students have both the knowledge and skills to build a successful career in an industry experiencing rapid technological and economic change. The program integrates traditional print with electronic publishing topics, including editorial acquisitions, production and design, copyright law in print and cyberspace, marketing, distribution, management, and business.
The MPS was designed for current and aspiring professionals, including post-bachelor and post-graduate students who have earned their degrees in other disciplines but desire careers in publishing. The program offers courses weekday evenings at the GW Alexandria Graduate Education Center, or available fully ONLINE via Distance Education beginning Fall, 2012. Students may complete the degree in two years while working in the field.
Program Update: Application deadline for the Online Distance Education program starting in Fall, 2012 has been extended until July 1, 2012
The curriculum is regularly reviewed by an advisory board to ensure that the MPS in Publishing will provide a solid background for entry into all areas of publishing and offer professionals already in the field an opportunity to enhance their careers. All of the faculty are nationally and internationally recognized leaders in print and digital publication.
"The George Washington University Publishing Program really allowed me to help authors understand the book making process from inception to distribution. The value of this program is immeasurable when placed in context with the ever evolving digital media creation and distribution processes technology has facilitated." – Dennis Comer, MPS 2008
