Overview

All students are required to take a core set of classes that provide a foundation for further study. Course classes include an overview of the fashion industry, behavior aspects of appearance, basic sewing and construction, western world history, textiles, fashion forecasting, internship and a capstone course. Students focus in one of two areas to develop a specialization in either merchandising or design. A third individualized track is also available upon consultation with a faculty member and approval by the Fashion Design and Merchandising curriculum committee at University of Hawaii at Manoa.

Key Features

Classroom work is enhanced by one of the largest costume collections at a university in the U.S., giving students and faculty a rich source of items to draw upon for their classes and projects. In addition, students have the opportunity to use web-based technologies to supplement classroom activities.

Opportunities to study at other universities and to participate in study tours to fashion centers of the world are another plus. A strong foundation for graduate study in apparel and related areas is provided.
