Fashion & Technology
To many, it’s a piece of fabric. To you, it’s a blank canvas just waiting to be brought to life.
Our Fashion & Technology degree program has an international reputation for building tomorrow’s fashion leaders. Our unique, industry-focused curriculum gives students like you the design skills, business acumen and marketing savvy needed to compete in the global fashion marketplace.
Many of our graduates secure positions in local apparel and design companies well before graduation. Many more find that our often sold-out graduation showcase events — attended by industry and media — help launch their design career.
