"The Columbia Publishing Course, which was previously the Radcliffe Publishing Course, has been around for 66 years," says Shaye Areheart, Deputy Director of the 6-week course, "And it is the oldest and, many feel, the most distinguished course in the country." Famous alums include industry leaders such as Morgan Entrekin, Nan Graham, Scott Moyers and Jenny Frost, and upon graduation, graduates gain access to job placement and support from this active alumni network. "Students can expect to be well-prepared to meet the challenges of starting a career in book or magazine or digital publishing once they have completed the course," says Areheart, "Furthermore, the people interviewing them know this."
