The Fashion Communication minor offers students the opportunity to develop practical communication skills for the fashion industry. This minor complements skills Columbia students develop in many majors (e.g., Fashion Studies, Business and Entrepreneurship, Cinema and Television Arts, Dance, Theater, Design, Photography, Cultural Studies, etc.). 

As a result of successfully completing the program requirements, students should be able to:

• understand the development, current state, and emerging trends of fashion communication and its audiences;
• create communication content for the fashion industry across a variety of media forms, appropriate to specific audiences, purposes, contents, and contexts; and
• accomplish goals with a critical awareness of fashion communication practices.
