Overview

The Master of Arts Program in Fashion Journalism equips students with subject-area expertise to help communicate the rising complexity of the global fashion industry. M.A. students develop both: a deep understanding of social media for journalism and a strong fashion industry grounding that enables them to ask more informed questions, to situate fashion news and business of fashion events into a larger context, and to evaluate fashion collections with a critical, well-informed eye. Students learn to produce cross-platform stories that are nuanced and sophisticated for social, digital, mobile and print media. The M.A. program is fueled by a deep intellectual understanding of fashion, ethics, and the ability to professionally utilize social media - skills that are required of the leading fashion journalists of tomorrow. Graduate students will meet the following student performance criteria: Visual Communication & Digital Tools Apply basic design principles to creative work Work effectively with industry-standard software Verbal and Written Communication Write compelling material for print, online, or broadcast media Clearly convey ideas and concepts using specific fashion industry language Effectively pitch ideas Conduct effective interviews Develop both a personal voice and the ability to adapt voice to fit a variety of print/online publications Research & Concept Development Conduct in-depth research to develop material for print, online, or broadcast media.
