Fashion Design
Fashioning the Future of the Apparel Industry
Fashion Design is a creative process of applying research, imagination, construction, and aesthetic beauty to clothing and its accessories.
The Bachelor of Science in Design - Fashion Design Major provides a platform for discovery, experimentation, and specialization by way of a strong foundation in critical and cultural theory, experiential learning, craftsmanship, technological literacy, and sustainable stewardship with opportunities for students to author their individual curricular pathway through elective coursework.
I have never felt so supported before and I am confident knowing I have all the skills to be successful in school and beyond!
