Masters Courses

Master of Publishing candidates must complete 49 credits. The curriculum comprises six courses (24 credits) and three projects (13 credits), offered exclusively within the program; followed by an internship (6 credits) and a research project (6 credits) that demonstrates the student’s ability to apply acquired knowledge in an industry setting.

Both the seminar and project courses of the Master of Publishing program are invigorated by the constant research activities of the Canadian Institute for Studies in Publishing (CISP). Our faculty work closely with the publishing industry in researching business dynamics, Internet technologies, emergent media forms, cutting-edge design, elegant editorial insight, understanding of industry dynamics, appreciation of the historical record, and a wide range of theoretical perspectives. MPub project courses are themselves research endeavours, exploring the cutting edge of book, magazine, and new media publishing.

The MPub internship is specifically designed as a research-oriented project, aimed at producing a project report describing original research in an applied setting.

See Research and the CISP Press for more information about current research directions at the Canadian Institute for Studies in Publishing (CISP).

All courses during semesters one (September – December) and two (January – April) are held at ´óÏó´«Ã½ Harbour Centre in downtown Vancouver.

The semester three internship (May – August) and semester four project report writing, supervision and evaluation (September – December) may be completed either in Vancouver or elsewhere. Residency in the Vancouver area is not a requirement for semesters three and four.
