FYI to anyone looking at postgraduate publishing courses… Look into international courses in English-reader markets.

I completed my MA Publishing course in the U.K. paying (at the time) the equivalent of one year’s tuition at NYU for my *entire degree* tuition as an international student.

Is it a pain that there’s no FAFSA to study internationally, so you have to rely on scholarships and/or savings? Yes. Absolutely. It was a lot of savings for me. You can get work on a student visa but there are parameters, so plan ahead to make the most of your time.

But did I also work around the fact that regardless of where I studied I’d have high rent and a few unpaid internships? Yes, and it is 100% the way I’d recommend for anyone to pursue their publishing degree.

PS: the reason I said English-reader market is for maximizing the transferability of the course to the U.S. publishing market.
