Built on a foundation of both art and design, the BFA in Fashion Design provides opportunities to explore varied aspects of design for the human body. Throughout the program you are challenged to develop an intellectually rich and relevant narrative about clothing and fashion in contexts ranging from the personal to the industrial. With an emphasis on technology, sustainability, and interdisciplinary collaborations, the major fosters creativity and innovation in fashion design. In your first year, your required studio course work includes drawing, two-dimensional design, three-dimensional design, digital design, and a weekly lecture course. As a sophomore, you build a foundational understanding of fashion research, culture, and design, taking a digitally oriented course, an introductory course in fashion design, and courses in textile design and illustration.
