Stevenson University to Launch Bachelor’s in Fashion Merchandising Fall 2010
Apr 6th, 2010 by msnyder
Stevenson University will launch a new degree program in fall 2010, a Bachelor of Science in Fashion Merchandising within the Brown School of Business and Leadership’s Department of Business Administration and in conjunction with the School of Design. The program is designed for students interested in pursuing business career paths in fashion and retail merchandising such as product development, visual display management, market research, wholesale purchasing and sales, retail management, business ownership, and marketing communications.
“Stevenson’s program will be distinct from other fashion merchandising programs across the country as its focus will concentrate almost exclusively on the business aspects of fashion and retail promotion,” said Deborah Leather, Chair of the Department of Business Administration. “In contrast to programs that focus on fashion merchandising from a design perspective, Stevenson’s program will emphasize a well-rounded understanding of the roles that marketing, consumer behavior, economics, accounting, and management play in fashion and retail merchandising.”
The fashion merchandising curriculum will include courses such as Principles of Management, Principles of Marketing, Consumer Behavior, Retail and Mass Merchandising, the Business of Fashion, Introduction to Textiles, Fashion History, and Financial Accounting.
“Fashion merchandising will not only give students the knowledge to succeed in the global fashion industry, but will also impart skills that students can take with them into careers in advertising and public relations, design companies, fashion publications, and other businesses,” Leather said.
