Fashion Design & Fashion Merchandising Bachelor Degree

Dreams of high-class living in the world's most glittering metropolitan centers can make anyone long for a career in fashion. But what you don't know is that being competitive in the world of fashion requires just as much education as it does inspiration. Employers want job applicants who are knowledgeable about fashion trends, fabrics, and ornamentation... and have four-year degrees. A bachelor's degree in fashion design or fashion merchandising can give you the knowledge and skills you need to work in the fashion industry.

A fashion design & merchandising degree can provide you with the perfect combination of design basics and critical business skills. Take courses in marketing, consumer behavior, business technology, and retail management in addition to color, sewing and tailoring, pattern making, fashion history, and computer aided design. You might choose to specialize in certain types of clothing such as formalwear or menswear.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the best job opportunities for fashion designers and fashion merchandisers will go to those working in stylish, affordable, mass-market retail clothing for middle-income consumers. And while no degree program can guarantee a specific job or salary, fashion designers earned a median annual income of $55,840 in May 2004, with the highest 10% earning more than $112,840.
