<p>Any recommendations on where I could go to major in both of these (or major in one, minor in the other)?</p>
<p>Ideas on where to look?</p>
<p>It depends on what you want to do with both majors, and what the two majors have in common (the psychology of clothing?). The best fashion colleges are strictly for fashion (FIT, Parsons, Otis), and regular colleges who tend to have fashion design programs are state universities. But I’ve heard great things about Kent State University’s fashion program–they might have a good Psychology program as well.</p>
<p>Check out Syracuse University. </p>

<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I don’t really intend to relate them. It’s simple, I love fashion design and I have a passion for helping to redefine mental health care. I hope to go to graduate school for clinical psychology, but I also really want to get better at fashion and maybe even succeed at that.</p>
<p>I’ll check out Syracuse and Kent. I’m also looking at Drexel, Philadelphia U, Woodbury, and Cincinnati.</p>
<p>Both fields are very specific, you need to be aware of what it actually consists of going either or both routes. You won’t have the freedom or time to do both. What exactly does redefining mental health care consists of? what will it take? for clinical psychology, will it be a phd or master’s, admissions to both is extremely difficult at top schools often requiring you to get involved in research and outside curricular activities that are related to your interests in psychology.</p>
<p>with fashion design, the job literally consists of you working for someone else. unless you have someone to finance 100K or more to start your own line, in fashion design you just can’t do whatever you want. it is a business, a business succeeds by giving a product or having a product that customer’s want. if you’re your only customer good luck trying to make money off of yourself. in addition to that, if you do decide to go down the designing route, you’ll be working for a company that often time you don’t have the freedom to design what you want to. in design you are just one employee among many and are often limited to design one aspect of a collection or of a label. for example if you work at X company, you will end up specializing in something like sweaters or jeans or evening dresses or jackets or bottoms or knits or wovens. you don’t ever get to design a “whole collection” from head to toe. you also rarely have the freedom to choose where you work as the industry is filled with hundreds of people like you wanting to do fashion willing to work for free or at cheap wages. jobs at top fashion companies are really hard to come by and it has nothing to do with talent. there are a lot of talented people, at the end of the day those fashion companies have to make their money somehow, and they don’t do it by making one of a kind pieces that you often see on runway. companies like prada gucci or any major label primarily make their money off of accessories and licensing out their brand, not necessarily from the clothes they design.</p>
<p>what line of psychology would be advised if someone was also going to major in fashion design? I am looking at that option cause i intend to go back to school here in dallas tx and was wondering if it is wise to double major.</p>
<p>I know Cornell has fashion design, and I would guess psychology too, though I’m not sure.</p>
<p>OMG!im wanna major in psych and minor in fashion design too, same reason as u do!! where’d u go now???</p>
