Meet faculty, staff and current students during the opening Q&A session, participate in hands-on classroom activities and learn about the endless possibilities you can pursue. Whether you are interested in Fashion Design or Fashion Merchandising (or both), this event will highlight the many opportunities offered in the department and university.
- Fashion Merchandising and Management is grounded in core business fundamentals as well as textiles, computer competencies and communication classes. A business administration minor is embedded in the major.
- Fashion Design and Product Innovation focuses on key foundational design skills such as pattern making, draping, technical design and sewing coupled with business, trend forecasting, art and textile courses. The breadth of courses cast a wide net for students to succeed in a wide variety of career pathways.
