The Master of Publishing program (MPub) at SFU has been working on a few edits. While the content of its courses has continued to evolve alongside the ever-changing publishing industry, the structure of the program has remained mostly the same since its inception in 1995.

McGregor hopes the changes will expand the pool of students interested in pursuing a graduate degree through the program.
