Students studying overseas gain a cross-cultural experience while broadening their design skills, enabling them to strengthen their competitive edge in the global marketplace.
PhilaU alumni work as fashion professionals in all areas and levels of the fashion industry and our distinguished faculty have served as leaders in both the design and production sides of the fashion industry.
