Lifestyle communicators are subject matter experts who reach behind-the-scenes and share these worlds with audiences who want to learn and be entertained. This one-of-a-kind program is designed to produce specialized lifestyle media professionals.

With a strong focus on digital platforms, technologies and web production, the interdisciplinary Lifestyle Media curriculum will include writing, visual communications, social media and entrepreneurship. In your courses, you’ll collaborate with industry partners, clients and audiences to produce quality content for web, social media and traditional media platforms. You’ll also gain the skills to work entrepreneurially and market yourself as an independent brand. An industry field placement will round out your training.

The vibrant industries that produce consumer goods and services for this sector — as well as the media that communicate their messages — are increasingly specialized and targeted.

You will be prepared to find entry-level positions within the established lifestyle media industry as staff and freelance content creators covering subjects such as food, beauty, fashion, décor, architecture, entertainment, health, fitness, garden, family, relationships, personal finance, consumer technology and travel.
