Overview

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 and Editing majors in the nation at Susquehanna University.

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.
