Value proposition

Committed to the daily re-imagining of what a university press can be since 1962. Shares ≠ endorsements

The MIT Press commits daily to re-imagining what a university press can be. Known for bold design and creative technology, the Press advances knowledge by publishing significant works from leading educators and researchers around the globe for the broadest possible access, impact, and audience. We seek to honor real-world complexity by featuring iconic, provocative, and transformative scholarship that crosses traditional academic and geographic boundaries. Our workplace fosters an open culture of diverse and spirited individuality that values employee initiative, supports professional growth, and encourages experimentation.

The MIT Press is the only university press in the United States whose list is based in science and technology. This does not mean that science and technology are all we publish, but it does mean that we are committed to the edges and frontiers of the world—to exploring new fields and new modes of inquiry. We publish over 220 new books a year and over 30 journals. We are a major publishing presence in fields as diverse as art, architecture, economics, cognitive science, game studies and computer science to name just a few.
