Publishing Program and Ooligan Press
Portland State University
Portland State University offers a master's
degree in writing with a concentration in publishing, through the
English Department’s Center for Excellence in Writing. The degree program
includes hands-on experience at Ooligan Press, a general trade press founded at
PSU.
In addition to publishing books that honor the cultural and
natural diversity of the Pacific Northwest, Ooligan Press is dedicated to
teaching the art and craft of publishing. As a teaching press, Ooligan makes as
little distinction as possible between the press and the classroom. Ooligan
Press is staffed by students in an apprenticeship program under the guidance of
a core faculty. Acquiring, producing and publishing profitable books in real
markets become projects where students combine theoretical knowledge and
practical experiences.
Publishing courses are open to both graduate and undergraduate students.
Various levels of participation and responsibility in the press are available to
degree candidates and other students.
