The Fashion Media Certificate of Achievement is being created in response to the evolving field of fashion which is gravitating to web/tech based sales and promotion. The goal of this interdisciplinary program of study is to enable students to create technically and aesthetically successful blog pages, social media sites, and web based sales sites that meet the needs of their fashion industry focused clients or employers.
Since this is an interdisciplinary Certificate of Achievement,the Program Student Learning Outcomes from Fashion, Applied Art and Design,Photography, and Business are all relevant and listed below:

The Fashion Media Certificate proposal has its origins in the annual Fashion Industries Advisory Meetings. The members stressed the changes in industry which are focusing more on wed based sales,social media input, and the importance of fashion blogging. At the same time, the Department was observing changes in the industry and having students asking for ways to get skills related to starting their own fashion businesses on sites like Etsy and creating their own blogs to get their point of view out to the public as it related to styling and fashion trends.
As the Fashion Program was exploring the idea of a Fashion Media certificate, we were presented the opportunity to partner with the Applied Art and Design and Photo Departments for a grant from Strong Workforce. The Fashion Media Certificate was then created with help from both departments. Two Business classes were also included to cover the topics of digital marketing and owning a small business. During the Strong workforce presentation, the Business Department representatives gave their support of having their courses included. Before completing the proposal, I contacted Denise Bushnell who was at the Strong Workforce meeting to make sure that the Business Department was still on board. She then directed me to the chair of Marketing, Tom Reed. I emailed asking if he had any input, but I did not hear back.
