Program Overview

The Bachelor of Science in Fashion Management program at the School of Media and Design prepares students for careers in the design and business sides of the fashion industry. The program’s emphasis on technology, practical technique, business insight, artistry and scholarship produces well-rounded graduates with extensive insights into fashion. Concentrations in Merchandising and Apparel Production and Design offer students an opportunity to specialize in one of these two critical areas, giving them all the tools they need to pursue success in dozens of career paths.

Fashion is a multi-billion-dollar industry that spans the globe. In the U.S. alone, it nears the half-trillion mark at $406 billion. Such an enormous field consists of hundreds of working parts from resource allocation to product development to marketing and sales. In fact, the industry employs nearly 2 million people around the world and reports a low unemployment rate. UIW’s Fashion Management program arms students with a deep understanding of the industry’s workings, so that they may enter the workforce immediately after graduation. Study of trends, forecasting, history and impact helps them anticipate and navigate changes in the fast-moving field.

Apparel Production and Design

The concentration in Apparel Production and Design is ideal for the student who wishes to pursue a career in the design and manufacturing side of the fashion industry within the business-to-business (B2B) sector. A fashion designer may work for fashion corporations who feature a specific brand or as an independent designer. Apparel production positions for a manufacturer include specializations such as sourcing for raw materials, developing technical specification packages, and mass-market line development. Product development teams are responsible for forecasting, product design, technical design, materials management, and distribution management.

Students develop a global perspective of emerging economies through the understanding of trade agreements, global employment practices and sustainability of resources. Students complete 61 Fashion Management core hours followed by 21 specialized hours tailored to meet personal career goals. A career track of courses is available for students who prefer an emphasis on design. Likewise, for students that favor product development, a separate career track of courses is available.
