Amaral, an OCC graduate herself, with a B.A. from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and an M.A. from California State University, Long Beach, heads up Orange Coast's highly regarded and innovative Fashion Program. Several hundred take fashion classes each semester. Many students are already working in the industry. Their employers send them to Orange Coast for additional training. With more than 70 different sportswear firms located within a 20-minute drive of the campus, it's not surprising that those firms are stocked with hundreds of past and present OCC students.
Talented people can command excellent salaries.
