Apparel Merchandising

Apparel Merchandising

Program description: The Apparel Merchandising diploma program is designed to provide the fashion knowledge, sales and human relations skills necessary for immediate involvement in this area of retailing. The program incorporates a supervised business internship where students work with other employees in a retail establishment. An annual fashion show, field trips and other special experiences provide opportunities to learn outside the classroom.

Students who want to combine their Apparel Merchandising diploma with managerial and supervisory skills can pursue an Associate of Applied Science degree in Marketing Management. This second-year curriculum provides additional course work in general education, marketing and management.
