Future designers begin at our University with traditional studies of style, line and form. Fashion design students have an opportunity to add an international dimension to their education by participating in the Study Abroad Program during their third year of study. Students studying overseas gain a cross-cultural experience while broadening their design skills, thus enabling them to strengthen their competitive edge in the global marketplace. Students can also choose to participate in a short three-credit study course during which they visit European fashion design firms and manufacturing facilities. Fashion design graduates may begin as fashion design assistants, working under the supervision of a designer, or work as a fashion adapter, altering trend-setting designs to fit the need of the average customer.
Some designers start their own firms, working with production houses and retailers to sell designs.
This program is available in the day and in the evening.
