Sample the Master’s Program Today“Completing this program was a huge confidence booster for me. I took classes alongside colleagues at the beginning of their career, like me, as well as those who had worked many years in publishing and were looking to further their professional development. The insight of my classmates, as well as my professors—who were all professionals in their fields—helped me develop and understanding of the publishing profession that wouldn’t be gleaned simply from studying a book.”
