About the Minor in Publishing

This practical minor in English and Fine Arts combines training in art, digital media, and graphic design with instruction in writing and editing. Whether it’s publishing a history book, a biology article, a health sciences blog post, or a psychology brochure, students will learn about all aspects of publishing, from drafting and designing to marketing and publicizing a finished product. Through coursework and opportunities at the CLAS Publishing Center (Pub Hub), 42 Miles Press, and Wolfson Press, students will get hands-on training in a field that’s relevant to any major and career path.
