Global Fashion Studies
Albany Campus
Students enrolled in Global Fashion Studies have the opportunity
to study creative design and core business concepts while applying
them to the world of fashion. Further exploration will include careers
in fashion design, production, merchandising, marketing and
technical design.
With society’s ever-increasing focus on fashion trends, star apparel
and more, this field is perfect for students with strong design skills, a
strong imagination or just a desire to stand out.
Leadership skills are emphasized along with creativity, problemsolving,
writing, communications and presentation skills. In addition,
students are exposed to state-of-the-art technology skills used by
fashion industry professionals.
Hands-on fashion career exploration is included in all phases of this
course. As a college prep program, students may have opportunities
to research and visit top fashion colleges during their course studies.
Students will be guided through the development of a fashion trade
portfolio showcasing their best work.
Work-based learning opportunities will be available to students to
work with local retailers at area shopping malls to learn visual display
and merchandising.
After completing Global Fashion Studies, students may start their
careers or advance their education at two- or four-year colleges
such as Rhode Island School of Design, LIM College, Buffalo State
University, Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City and
