You can learn how.
You can finish your undergraduate degree at Marymount Manhattan College while starting
on a Master's degree in Publishing. MMC, in conjunction with Pace University, offers a
unique opportunity for students to complete requirements for the B.A. or B.S. and the
Master of Science in Publishing degree simultaneously.
Full-time students who have reached their junior year at MMC; possess an overall 3.0 GPA
and a 3.2 GPA in their major; and are majoring in either English, Humanities,
Business Management, or Communication Arts may apply for admission to the publishing
program.
Upon admission to the program, students may take up to 12 credit hours of publishing
courses that will satisfy some of the requirements for each degree.
Course topics include production, design, financial and marketing principles,
copy editing, and electronic publishing. Taught by professionals employed in
the publishing field, the courses introduce students to basic principles of
publishing and provide practical skills required in publishing
jobs. The emphasis at MMC in interdisciplinary studies prepares you in unique ways for
succeeding in the B.A./B.S./M.S. Program in Publishing.
English
The analytical skills developed in literature classes enable students to learn
quickly about critiquing the viability of a new manuscript, preparing a marketing
plan for a new college textbook, or understanding the legal issues in publishing.
The writing skills students develop transfer easily to copy-editing or rewriting.
Humanities
The interdisciplinary nature of the Humanities major already encourages students
to integrate several disciplines. These skills are essential in a field that
requires thinking about the complex relationships among content, format, economic
impact and marketing.
Communication Arts
Publishing industry experts all agree that technology is the major factor in the
future of publishing. Students who major in Communication Arts can bring their
background in media communication and their theoretical bases and practical
skills in digital production to a career rapidly developing its use of technology
and information systems.
Business Management
Publishing is not just about texts. In fact, financial aspects often drive publishing
decisions. Accounting, financial management, computer information management,
and marketing, all part of the MMC major in Business Management, are essential
to the publishing industry.
The B.A./B.S./M.S. Advantage
Establish a career focus.
No application fee for MMC students.
Tuition for publishing program classes is charged at the MMC tuition rate.
MMC students can take 12 credits toward a Master's degree at a lower cost

Pace offers several publishing program scholarships, which are available
through Pace following graduation from MMC and require the student to take
the Graduate Records Examination (GRE).
