The Master of Science in Media Solutions and Innovation - Publishing Path degree
is earned through the successful completion of 10 three-credit courses, totaling
30 credit hours required for graduation.
Students complete the program in a
NewStart cohort, taking classes sequentially. Students will first complete
an introductory course, followed by eight core courses taken in thematically-paired
blocks of two. After completing their core courses, students will take the
