Fashion Business
Managers with both communication and management skills are rare. Today companies recognize and acknowledge the way fashion professionals ‘think’ as a strategic asset, an alternative to traditional management methods and approaches toward company growth.
The Associate in Applied Science degree in Fashion Business is designed for students who have an interest in gaining an in depth understanding of the marketing processes in business, with particular focus on appropriate communication strategies that may be applied to fashion and luxury industries.
Core classes range from product design and development, manufacturing, trend watching, awareness of seasonal buying, and consumer behaviour.

The Associate in Applied Science in Fashion Business degree aims to provide a solid base in key skills of the fashion business industry.
Alongside general education requirements the program provides students the chance to engage in the fashion industry from both a creative and business perspective, giving them an understanding of how the fashion industry came into existence, as well as familiarizing them with the way it works today, in order to anticipate business development and change in the near future.
