Fashion Design & Merchandising

Develop a head for business and an eye for fashion design.

Fashion is certainly one of the more glamorous careers – where creating and forecasting trends and attending fashion shows and designer showrooms can be part of your job. Personal style can be your starting point, but you need more than a flair for fashion to make it in this field. You can learn what it takes in our Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fashion Design & Merchandising program. It’s designed to help you gain the skills – along with the business knowledge – to take your creative ideas all the way from fashion sketch. . . to models on the runway. . . to the real women and men who will purchase them.

Along with learning professional techniques for creating and producing your designs – including fabric and color selection, pattern drafting, draping, garment construction, and tailoring – you’ll have the opportunity to learn about fashion publicity and promotion, merchandising practices, store design, and global sourcing. When you graduate you should have a portfolio showcasing your best work – and an understanding of how fashions progress from design to runway to retail.

A Bachelor’s degree in Fashion Design & Merchandising could be your first step into an exciting career that requires both fashion savvy and business smarts.
