APPAREL, TEXTILES AND MERCHANDISING

About A trip to New York City is offered as a class every other year during spring semester as a three credit course. The next trip is scheduled to take place in 2010. This trip gives students the chance to go on market visits, see showrooms, get hands on experience in the fashion industry, and maybe even get the chance to meet a famous designer. It is offered every other year and you wouldn’t want to miss out. Many students have received internship opportunities as a result of this trip.
