I'm passionate about fashion and business and want a college that offers studies in both. Any ideas on which schools have strong programs in the fashion business?
Several universities offer strong programs in the intersection of fashion and business. Here are some worth considering:
1. Parsons School of Design - The New School, New York - Ranked as one of the top fashion schools worldwide, they offer a BBA in Strategic Design and Management with a pathway in Fashion Management.
2. Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), New York - Known for their diverse fashion-related programs, they offer a BS in International Trade and Marketing for the Fashion Industries.
3. University of Southern California (USC) - USC offers a BS in Business Administration with a concentration in Fashion Industry Studies under the USC Marshall School of Business.
4. University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) - UPenn is renowned for its strong business programs with the Wharton School of Business. Although they don't directly offer a fashion business program, Wharton has a Retailing Concentration that might interest you. Also, students have the opportunity to take fashion-focused courses at the nearby Moore College of Art and Design.
5. Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) - SCAD offers a BA or BFA in Fashion Marketing and Management.
Remember that each of these programs varies, and it's critical to look at each program's coursework, internships, faculty qualifications, alumni outcomes, and location to determine what might be the best fit for you.
