a. Rationale for creation, revision, or deletion:
The
Department of Consumer Studies is recommending revisions to the Fashion
Merchandising undergraduate major. The revisions are designed to improve the
depth and breadth of the curriculum by providing a more in-depth fashion
merchandising core, to update the program’s curriculum to keep it current with
advances in the fashion merchandising field, and to incorporate the
University’s general education initiatives into the curriculum. All revisions
can be accomplished without increasing the number of credits required for
graduation.
b. Summary of program:
The Fashion
Merchandising major addresses the planning, production, promotion and
distribution of products in fashion industries to meet consumer demand. It
prepares students for careers in fashion retailing and promotion, and
merchandise management. The changes we are planning are as follows:
1.
CNST 110 Seeing and Being
in a Visual World, a Pathways course offered as an elective for several years,
will become a required course for the major, fulfilling General Education
criteria.
2.
CNST 222 Apparel Product Analysis, (or the alternative of CNST 122 Apparel Product
Assembly) will replace CNST 211 Apparel Product Development in the curriculum.
CNST 222 Apparel Product Analysis updates course offerings in the area of
technical design and specifications for the apparel industry.
3.
The history course
requirement has been revised to include any approved Arts and Science Group B
elective.
4.
ART 130 Drawing I: Tools
and Techniques has been removed as an alternative for a required art course
since our students primarily take ART 129 Design
in Visual Arts.
5.
CNST 420 Assortment
Planning and Buying Studio (2 credits) and CNST 430 Topics in Fashion Marketing
and Promotion (3 credits) will be required, replacing previous CNST electives.
