CAN SIX WEEKSCHANGEYOUR LIFE?

At the Summer Publishing Institute (SPI), students are im-mersed in book, magazine, and digital publishing in the media capital of the world—New York City. Now in its 34th

year, this intensive program offered by the NYU School of Continu-ing and Professional Studies (NYU-SCPS) is developed, designed, and taught by a faculty of top professionals in the industry, including CEOs, publishers, editors, online editors, literary agents, designers, marketers, and publicists. These industry experts come directly from their offices to our classrooms. Through visits to major media com-panies, publishing houses, and bookstores, SPI students experience publishing firsthand.

NYU-SCPS offers three pathways to professional publishing educa-tion: the Summer Publishing Institute, the Master of Science in Pub-lishing: Digital and Print Media, and executive education program-ming on campus and abroad. (If you are interested in pursuing the M.S. in Publishing after completing the Summer Publishing Institute, please see page 12 for more details.)

THE PROGRAMAt the Summer Publishing Institute, you study both publishing basics and the latest online

applications and strategies. The six-week intensive program provides a thorough introduc-

tion to every aspect of magazine and book publishing. Students attend lectures and presen-

tations given by leading executives about key industry issues and participate in workshops

and hands-on strategy sessions. Our computer workshops cover the latest publishing tech-

nologies, including Photoshop, InCopy, and InDesign. In addition, students receive extensive

professional guidance in the form of résumé reviews, job-search assistance, and other crucial

career resources. Networking is an integral part of the program—many SPI graduates who

now work in publishing return to share their experiences with current students during panels

and informal social gatherings. The Summer Publishing Institute culminates in a career fair,

which includes many of the top publishing companies in New York City. When students

complete SPI, they receive six graduate credits which may be counted toward the M.S. in

Publishing: Digital and Print Media, or an advanced degree elsewhere, if deemed appropriate

by the degree-granting institution. For a closer look at last year’s program, please visit the

summer postings on our blog, nyupubposts.wordpress.com.

The first three weeks of the Institute focus on magazines

and their digital extensions, including exciting new Web,

e-reader, and mobile platforms. Students examine the

wide variety of magazines and see how publishers are

increasingly treating magazines as brands. They will create

a launch plan for a new media brand, including iPad and

other digital versions, and explore online-only content and

distribution models. In-depth exploration of the industry

includes a thorough introduction to the many functions re-

quired to produce a magazine brand successfully—includ-

ing editorial and design, business planning, social media

marketing, advertising and circulation, and managing the

integration of print and digital strategies. During these

three weeks, students visit the offices of some of the lead-

ing media companies in New York City to learn how they

compete in this dynamic and creative environment.

The second three weeks of SPI focus on the book industry. Students examine the tasks

required to publish a successful list of titles. As e-book sales continue to dominate some

sectors of the market, we explore all aspects of both the print and e-book production

processes—from manuscript submission and editing to marketing, sales, and distribution.

Students learn about a variety of book categories, including trade and academic books,

children’s books, and special-interest publications. Leaders from the industry address the

class, and we visit the headquarters of leading book publishing companies.

CAREER GUIDANCE AND FAIRCareer guidance is an integral part of the

Summer Publishing Institute. Panels and dis-

cussions focus on the different types of pub-

lishing companies, entry-level positions, and

career paths, and on solving the challenges

and taking advantage of the opportunities of

living and working in New York City. Résumé

reviews and practical training sessions on cov-

er-letter writing and interview strategies help

to prepare students for careers in publishing.

A highlight of SPI is the career fair (pictured

above), which provides students with the

chance to meet and to interview with book,

magazine, and digital media companies. While

students are not guaranteed jobs, our faculty members, career guidance, and career fair

help them to begin the process of finding openings, job leads, and networking opportunities

in the industry.

CAREER SESSIONS AND EVENTS

Learning and practicing key entry-level skills is an important element of SPI. Through work-

shops, students gain hands-on experience in book and magazine editing, web and print

layout and design principles, production, digital marketing strategies, publicity tactics, bud-

get basics, and more.

During each session, students team up to launch a publishing business. In the magazine ses-

sion, students are assigned a specific job (e.g., editor-in-chief, print or web publisher, art

director, advertising sales director, online editor, general manager, or consumer marketing

director) and work with their team and industry advisors (such as Louis Cona, chief market-

ing officer of Condé Nast Media Group, in the top photo, below) to form a plan for a suc-

cessful magazine brand launch. In the book session, students work together in groups to

create a small publishing company or imprint with its own distinct personality. Each student

performs a specific publishing function and is guided through the process by experts in

the field (such as Calvert Morgan, senior vice president and publisher, ItBooks, and editorial

director, HarperPerennial Originals, HarperCollins, who is seen meeting with students in the

photo at the bottom right). Students present their final work to a panel of industry judges

who evaluate their editorial, business, marketing, and Web strategies, and who provide valu-

able advice. In both sessions, students experience how publishers create a business that

succeeds in print and in digital formats.

In no more than two weeks, I received a job offer. Things are going great!

When students successfully complete the full,

six-week SPI program, they will have earned

six graduate credits which may be applied

toward an advanced degree if deemed ap-

propriate by the degree-granting institution.

By earning six graduate credits, students also

are entitled to apply for federal financial aid.

(Please see page 15)

SPI participants also may apply to the M.S.

in Publishing: Digital and Print Media pro-

gram. If accepted, they will receive six credits

toward the completion of this degree.

Please note that graduate degrees at the NYU

School of Continuing and Professional Studies

must be completed within a five-year period.

In the case of the M.S. in Publishing: Digital

and Print Media, this commences with the

start of participation in SPI.

It is highly recommended that students apply

to the M.S. in Publishing: Digital and Print

Media program for the fall semester following completion of SPI. All applicable deadlines for

the M.S. in Publishing: Digital and Print Media application apply to SPI students.

The Master of Science in Publishing: Digital and Print Media, offered through the NYU School

of Continuing and Professional Studies, is designed to educate a new generation of publish-

ing professionals. It teaches students how to excel in all aspects of publishing, including

books, magazines, and digital media. Classes are taught by leading professionals in the pub-

lishing field. They provide students with an in-depth overview of editing, finance, marketing

and branding, new business development, sales and distribution, advertising, law, leadership

and management, as well as the latest digital practices. Students can select a part-time or

full-time program of evening study. They network with industry leaders in the classroom and

at workshops, panels, and events, while learning the latest media strategies. They also par-

ticipate in an internship program and receive career guidance through individual counseling

sessions and workshops on résumé and cover letter preparation. Job and internship postings

are regularly distrubuted to students in the program.

Students who are accepted into the Master of Science in Publishing: Digital and Print Media,

and who successfully complete the Summer Publishing Institute, earn six credits toward

the graduate degree. For more information, visit www.scps.nyu.edu/mspub or contact the

Center for Publishing by phone at (212) 992-3232 or by e-mail at [email protected].

THE NYU SCHOOL OF CONTINUING AND PROFESSIONAL STUDIES (NYU-SCPS)

The NYU School of Continuing and Professional Studies (NYU-SCPS) draws its academic char-acter from a deeply rooted connection to the industries and the creative forces that drive the economic engines and shape the cultural environment of New York City and beyond. Programs are professionally oriented and are taught by faculty members who are leaders in their fields.

Whether you are an adult student interested in returning to school to pursue an undergraduate degree, an established professional who seeks to enhance your credentials by earning a mas-ter’s degree, or a career changer who is exploring your options, the NYU School of Continuing and Professional Studies (NYU-SCPS) will provide a supportive and stimulating environment in which to increase your knowledge, hone your skills, develop your critical thinking, broaden your horizons, and build your network of professional contacts.

For more information visit www.scps.nyu.edu/admissions

“ The Summer Publishing Institute laid the foundation on which I have continued to build a comprehensive understanding of the pub-lishing industry through the M.S. in Publishing: Digital and Print Media program. The intensive summer program also trained me in time management skills that have been instrumental in my pursuit of a mas-ter’s degree while working a full-time job in academic book publishing. I’d highly recom-mend partaking in both programs if you are interested in delving as deeply as possible into an engaging industry that continues to change and astound...and from which I continue to learn new things daily.”

WHO SHOULD APPLY

Students who are dedicated to words, ideas, and communication are most likely to benefit

from the Summer Publishing Institute. It is helpful to have publishing experience through

internships, in libraries and bookstores, or on school publications. Skills or interest in writing

and editing, digital media, photography, graphic arts, or marketing should be highlighted in

your personal statement when applying. Proficiency in writing is crucial because publishing

professionals must be able to express themselves in a variety of written forms.

The Summer Publishing Institute is designed for recent college graduates and young profes-

sionals. Applicants must have completed an undergraduate degree before the start of the

program although no specific major is required. The Summer Publishing Institute welcomes

international students.

HOW TO APPLY

To apply for admission to the Summer Publishing Institute, submit the online application

form accompanied by your résumé, a personal statement, and a nonrefundable application

fee of $30. Official transcripts from all colleges attended and two letters of recommendation

from professors, internship advisors, or an employer should also be submitted when you ap-

ply. International students also are required to submit TOEFL scores. Complete instructions

can be found on the application form, which is available at www.scps.nyu.edu/spi.

Applications must be submitted online (transcripts must be submitted to our offices) no later than March 26, 2012. Early application is encouraged and early acceptance is pos-

sible for exceptional students. Late applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. The

Summer Publishing Institute is selective and applicants may be put on a wait list. We begin

notifying applicants of acceptance by April 13, 2012, if not earlier.

If you are accepted, you must submit a $500 nonrefundable deposit no later than April 30,

2012 to secure your place in the program. Students admitted from the waitlist will have two

Space in the program will not be guaranteed until receipt of the tuition deposit. Once you

enroll, the nonrefundable deposit is applied to your tuition.

For more information about the program, e-mail [email protected] or visit

www.scps.nyu.edu/spi. For application-related questions, please contact the Admissions

Office at (212) 998-7100, or at [email protected].

TUITION, FEES, AND HOUSING

Tuition: $5,200. Housing Fee: $200 (approximate fee) per week, depending upon location. Note: NYU housing is optional and no meal plan is required. The tuition includes the

nonrefundable $500 deposit and all applicable registration fees. It covers all lectures, work-shops, mock book and magazine launches, skills development training, site visits, career fair, and most materials. (Students may be required to pay for color printing and other fees for the production of their final book and magazine projects.)

Final tuition balance is due by May 25, 2012.

HOUSING AND MEALS

Securing housing in NYU dorms is recommended but is not mandatory. The NYU Housing Office requires a separate application and $500 housing deposit by credit card at the time of housing application, or by check within 7 days of application. Final housing balance is due June 8, 2012. For more information about summer housing, visit www.nyu.edu/summer/housing. Note: Most students prefer to arrange for their own meals, though a meal plan is available.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Attending the Summer Publishing Institute allows students to earn six graduate credits, thereby entitling them to apply for federal aid. If you are interested in applying for aid, you will need to file the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Please visit the following website for more information about the FAFSA: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/. We strongly urge all students to file the FAFSA as early as possible, and no later than the March 26 application deadline. Private loans also may apply. Please note that status of your financial aid package may not be available by the time of your acceptance to the program. Kindly keep this in mind in planning for SPI.

WITHDRAWALS AND REFUNDS

Notice of withdrawal must be made in writing: by mail to NYU-SCPS Graduate Admissions, 7 East 12th Street, Suite 921, New York, NY 10003; or by e-mail to [email protected]. The $500 deposit, submitted before registration, is not refundable, nor is the $30 application fee or registration fees. Students also must officially drop the SPI coursework in the Albert system. Information about how to do so can be found online at http://www.nyu.edu/registrar/registration/albert-registration.html. The refund schedule is based on the day on which the courses are dropped in Albert. Tuition is reimbursed as follows: 100%, less deposit, registra-tion and application fees, for withdrawal before or during the first week of class. Withdrawal must be made on Albert by the end of the business day on June 8, 2012 in order to qualify for the 100% refund. As of the second week of class, no refund is granted. NYU does not permit variation in these policies.
