Mission
Apprentice House's mission is, first and foremost, to educate students about the book publishing process. As a program within the Communication Department at Loyola University Maryland (www.loyola.edu/communication), it is driven by student work conducted in three courses: Introduction to Book Publishing, Book Design and Production, and Book Marketing and Promotion. Therefore, students in these courses serve as staff in Apprentice House's acquisitions, design, and marketing departments, respectively. After students move on, AH professor-managers (and members of the AH Book Publishing Club) sustain the on-going operation of the company and market its frontlist and backlist titles.
