"We are very proud of this accreditation, since only a
few programs in the country are accredited by this international
organization," said Subhas Ghosh, professor and program
coordinator of apparel, textiles and merchandising at EMU. "This
award will help our students because this is a global profession."
EMU's ATM program prepares students for careers in merchandising,
marketing, and apparel. The program also provides technical
training in new technologies for textiles used in the automotive
and furniture industries.
Students who graduate from EMU's program are eligible
to apply for the Chartered Associateship of The Textile
Institute after two years of professional experience. There
currently are 138 undergraduate students enrolled in EMU's
program.
