Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently,
participate in a team, be well-organized, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic
achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.

OUR PROGRAM
This program focuses on technical sewing and drafting skills used in the fashion industry. The program simulates, as closely as possible, the industry’s standards, practices and facilities. You will use industrial machines to sew garments and learn the essentials of pattern making, pattern grading and clothing construction. Additional core subjects include textiles, technical specifications and fashion illustration. Program electives allow you to select specific related subject areas, such as visual merchandising, fashion journalism, draping, lingerie and bridal and evening wear. Computer skills in Adobe Illustrator, pattern drafting and pattern grading are included as core and elective courses and are continually upgraded to meet industry needs.
An annual fashion show highlights successful student projects. The show is a student project in the Fashion Show Production elective course in semester 4. Students have the opportunity to participate in numerous competitions, volunteer at FashionWorks and attend industry events.
Note: This program requires extensive sewing. Both sewing ability and access to a sewing machine outside of the campus facilities are expected.
