The billion-dollar fashion and
apparel industry needs bright,
talented executives to guide the
rapid pace of today’s technological
revolution. Skilled managers are
required to deal with an
increasingly complex variety of
products and manufacturing
techniques and tasks, such as
planning product lines months before
they will appear in the stores. Once
developed, new products must be
sourced globally and then delivered
to the consumer within a very short
period of time.
The Bachelor of Science in Fashion
Industry Management is uniquely
designed to educate this type of
executive. The curriculum combines
the fundamentals of business,
including accounting, economics,
marketing, finance and management,
with textile and apparel courses.
Students learn the process of
apparel design and manufacture from
fiber to final apparel product, and
become familiar with the application
of computers in information
retrieval, integrated apparel
manufacture and design. Graduates
earn the respect of employers who
are familiar with the University’s
expertise in fashion industry
management.
