Admissions are competitive.
Each year, the Publishing Course receives between 350 and 400 applications for 100 places. Don't let this discourage you, however. The admission committee looks very carefully at each application and weighs its individual merits. The Columbia Publishing Course cannot guarantee job placement, no institution can, but our track record is exemplary. New York is home to a great majority of the book and magazine publishing companies in the country and is the natural place to launch your publishing career.
