At NYU, you learn how to anticipate and brainstorm innovative solutions to complex, contemporary problems with the best in the publishing industry. Our faculty members are among the finest in academia—distinguished and expert practitioners in publishing. They are senior executives at major corporations, responsible for the daily operations of their companies. Your professors not only teach what they do, but also what they plan to do. They share an insider’s view and challenge your critical thinking and decision-making abilities. Their substantive experience heightens your awareness of emerging issues and helps you to succeed in this dynamic field.

Faculty bring to the classroom their unique experience in book, magazine, and digital publishing. They administer and deliver rigorous academic programs that use case studies, special team assignments, and industry-specific projects with real-world relevance and practical applications. As industry leaders, they provide a top-down management perspective, in addition to a real-world look at day-to-day operations. You are challenged to address timely issues such as generating book sales in a turbulent economy, successfully launching a new product, creating an innovative print and online marketing campaign, expanding into international markets and reaching a wider audience through social networking strategies.
