The International Fashion Management program is a one-year graduate certificate program* designed for the student or industry professional with a serious interest in the international apparel business.
The program provides you with the skills essential to succeed in the global apparel market. As new communication technologies make the world a smaller place, more possibilities for the fashion industry emerge on an international scale, along with many related career opportunities.
You are exposed to world trade through the study of economic, legal and cultural factors that affect international trade policies. Specifically, the focus of the study is on the understanding of business practices, global marketing, logistics and supply chain management as they relate to the fashion industry worldwide. The program content combines analytical and management skills, along with knowledge of world culture and understanding of the global economy, to enable success in the international apparel industry.
*Courses are taught at the advanced level. This program requires commitment and planning for a heavy course workload in addition to class hours.
