 Challenges
and rapid advancement opportunities set in an exciting atmosphere
of change, fast paced business decisions and competition are
offered to you in a fashion career. Take part in theaction
where style becomes a way of expression in apparel and accessories
as well as interior design. A career in the fashion industry
could include management, designing, buying, marketing or
promotion, sales, customer service or visual merchandising.
The
curriculum has been designed with the help of employers in
both the apparel and interior design industries. Many students
 achieve
management positions upon graduation or shortly thereafter
because of the specialized course work and individual effort.
Instruction is based upon lectures, labs, internships, speakers
and a variety of conferences and field studies in fashion
centers such as New York City. These activities offer the
student a chance to interact with key industry professionals
and develop an invaluable employment network.
Two
majors are offered in the Fashion program. Upon successful
completion of the Fashion/Design program students will receive
an AAS degree. Students with a shorter term educational goal
may receive a diploma.
Fashion/Design
emphasizes career development along with transfer options
for students planning on attending a four year college. Graduates
interested in apparel design or interior design degrees usually
transfer to a four year program. Contact a DMACC Fashion/Design
instructor, counselor or advisor for transfer planning assistance.
