The minor in Fashion emphasizes creativity and experimentation and offers students the opportunity to develop basic skills in product making, fashion business decision-making, historical contexts, materials, and design foundations.
Admission to the Fashion minor by application only. The application is open only for one month at the beginning of each semester, accessible from the Miami Fashion Programs web page. After review at the end of the month, all applications will be accepted into the program, and DARs will reflect the acceptance before registration for the next semester.
