Minor in Fashion 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.
