Minor in Fashion in Media
Program director: Camille Kraeplin, Associate Professor, Division of Journalism
The Fashion Media minor provides a basic understanding of the role of media professionals in the fashion industry. Coursework includes journalism, photography, video, art direction, advertising and public relations as they relate to fashion. Key concepts – such as aesthetic and editorial decision-making and the role of fashion in society – will be emphasized in core and capstone courses. The minor is designed for students who wish to incorporate an interest in fashion into their major coursework, allowing them to pursue internships and/or further work or study in the fashion industry.
