Led by director Manuela Soares, the program is located at Pace University's Downtown Campus at 156 William Street in Manhattan. Since 1985, the program has worked with students who want to acquire the skills, experience, and industry contacts that can help them build a career in publishing and interactive media industries. It provides hands-on training in every aspect of book and magazine publishing and digital media: content creation and editing, marketing strategies, book and magazine production, financial applications, and all aspects of digital publishing. The curriculum reflects current industry trends, allowing students to explore publishing in a variety of formats, including print, e-books, apps, mobile platforms, and developing and writing for blogs and websites.
