Publishing Career Program

CAREER PROGRAM: Communication and Interactive Digital Media + Specialization in Publishing

The J SCHOOL hosts the 2nd year concentration in publishing for FUA-AUF's 2-year Communication and Interactive Digital Media Career Program. Career Programs are divided into levels lasting approximately 10-11 weeks for accelerated learning in specific career fields. At least 2 levels are required for certification (levels I and II or III and IV). The granting of formal final certification is conditional on the successful completion of all program academic requirements. Programs may be attended for only one level as a study abroad experience, at the end of which is issued to the student a transcript for coursework completed.

Program Overview

After the first Common Core Year of the Career Program, the second year specialization in publishing fine-tunes the advanced skills necessary to design, edit, produce, publish and market published media. Particular focus is given to magazine and book publishing and the unique structure of the program allows students to partake in ongoing publishing projects of Ingorda for Florence Campus Publishing. The final project is a student and faculty-produced book that is intended to be marketed in both mainstream and specialized markets. A lifestyle magazine is also produced in-house with the collaboration of students. Students will study with competent and qualified instructors and will have an unparalleled quality in teaching that includes learning in a collaborative working environment that promotes exchange of ideas and methods between students and instructors.
