Publishing Schools in Canada

The following institutions offer publishing related courses and programs. 

Please note that some institutions require its students to complete an internship in order to graduate — this can in turn prove difficult to complete when the number of internships available every year is small and schools cannot guarantee internships to all students.  Please also note that attending or graduating from a Publishing program is not always required in job applications nor does it guarantee employment. Some of the courses below veer into creative writing and are not 100% focused on behind-the-scenes work in Publishing. Please do your due diligence in researching a program.
