BA in Publishing &Editing

Top Tier Career Preparation, Small School Vibe

Do you dream of working at a publishing house, indie magazine, or scholarly journal? Then our publishing and editing major is for you.

You won't find this kind of program at any other liberal arts colleges—or at many far larger colleges either. We offer one of the only publishing majors in the nation.

Publishing is all about connecting. Writers and readers. Art and business. Traditional and new technologies. Gain the knowledge and skills to navigate these interconnections, and reflect on the:

• Cultural role of publishing
• History of the book
• Implications of the shift to digital publishing

Our publishing and editing program is big enough that you'll have access to a high-tech, dedicated lab, and eight department student publications, and small enough that you'll get hands-on, personalized attention from faculty. Our students have even helped produce a professional publication, which saw two pieces nominated for the Pushcart Prize.

Nab Prime Internships & Post-Grad Opportunities

Our track record for internships at top magazines, newspapers, and presses and placements at the three most prestigious summer certificate programs is exceptional. Internships include:

• UrbanEdge Publishing
• Penguin Random House
• Massie & McQuilkin Literary Agents
• Ingram Content Group

Each year we successfully place graduates in the Columbia Publishing Course and NYU's Summer Publishing Institute. All five students from the Class of 2019 who applied to Columbia's program, the most prestigious program in the country, were accepted.

Coming Soon

Susquehanna University will be restarting the SU Press as an entirely student-run operation. The press will provide hands-on experience in publishing and is a collaborative project with the Sigmund Weis School of Business. With this project, our undergrad publishing program will be the only one in the country affiliated with a business school. More details about the SU Press will be coming this fall.

Our students thrive, and you will too, as you are mentored by professors who are both experts in their fields and exceptional teachers. Coursework at Susquehanna is intense — you will enjoy personalized attention from your faculty as they help you learn and develop the skills you need to be a job and/or graduate school ready.

Many schools talk about study abroad but at Susquehanna, everyone does it. We are nationally recognized for our commitment to global experiences and cultural competence through our innovative Global Opportunities (GO) program.

Mission

We educate students for productive, creative, and reflective lives of achievement, leadership, and service in a diverse, dynamic and interdependent world.

Academics

You'll choose from more than 100 majors and minors, as well as pre-professional programs and an interdisciplinary honors program.

The School of the Arts, School of Humanities, School of Natural & Social Sciences and the AACSB accredited Sigmund Weis School of Business offer Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, and Bachelor of Music degrees.

You'll benefit from our exceptional faculty and small classes that facilitate participation. Our innovative curriculum encourages breadth and depth of study as you develop your skillset, and participation in our Global Opportunities program develops your cultural competence.

In essence, the world is open to you when you choose Susquehanna University.
