Colleges with top programs in business of fashion?

I've got a passion for fashion and business, so I'm looking for a college that combines both. Do you know any schools with a strong focus on the business side of fashion?

Certainly, several colleges and universities offer highly regarded programs in fashion business. Here are some schools you might consider:

1. Parsons School of Design, a part of The New School: Both in the heart of New York City, Parsons and The New School offer rigorous programs within a collaborative environment. It's renowned for its strong focus on both business and design in the fashion industry.

2. Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT): Also in New York City, FIT offers a Bachelor's degree in Fashion Business Management, which combines core business principles with the specific dynamics of the fashion industry.

3. University of Southern California (USC): USC's Marshall School of Business offers a degree in Business Administration with a focus in Cinematic Arts which, although not directly fashion-focused, does delve into the business side of the entertainment industries, including fashion.

4. Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD): SCAD has a fashion marketing and management program where students learn about branding, buying, global market trends, marketing strategies, product development, retail management, and visual merchandising.

5. Drexel University: Drexel, located in Philadelphia, has a well-known program in Design & Merchandising. This allows students to learn about business strategies in the fashion industry.

6. University of Pennsylvania (UPenn): UPenn doesn't have a fashion-specific program, but with its top-tier Wharton School of Business and "One University" policy, students might find it easy to combine business courses with courses in design, visual studies or consumer psychology to create a close approximation of a fashion business education.

Remember, it's important not only to look at the programs but also to consider other aspects like location, extracurricular opportunities, internships, and alumni networks in the fashion industry while choosing the right school.
