पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

In this program students will learn to design, produce, and market apparel products by developing the creative thinking and technical expertise to address contemporary issues while using industry technologies, communicating design ideas, and gaining an understanding of the global apparel industry. The program incorporates custom design and industry production approaches and features projects that emphasize fashion and function. The program focuses on a research-based design process used by many design industries, and courses incorporate industry-sponsored projects and community service projects. Studio courses closely replicate the professional working methods of apparel designers. In addition to providing a strong liberal arts curriculum, courses offer essential background in costume history, consumer behavior, and social and cultural meanings of apparel. A required internship and mentor experience provides students with professional experience. An annual fashion show presents students' achievements to the professional community. To complete the major, students must take six sequential apparel design studio courses. They are also encouraged to use the liberal education categories to explore multicultural themes and to strengthen knowledge that supports their major coursework. Students entering the program should also have apparel construction/assembly competence and a working knowledge of microcomputers and software.
