One Year Certificate Program in Publishing

Program Overview

The certificate in Publishing unites the creative forces of Apicius, FUA, and

FAST in a single program of study in the publishing field. The year long

program begins with the fundamentals and proceeds with the advanced

skills necessary to design, edit, produce, publish and market published

media. Particular focus is given to the magazine and book forms of

published media and the unique structuring of the course allows students

to partake in ongoing publishing projects of Ingorda for Florence Campus

Publishing. Students must choose one of three concentrations offered in

this certificate: publishing in the art world, gastronomy, and fashion. The

final project is a student and faculty produced book that will make its way

into mainstream and specialized markets. A semesterly lifestyle magazine

is also produced in house with the collaboration of students.
