 Return to: Programs (A-Z)
In the fashion merchandising concentration (1219) a student has the choice of selecting unspecified electives or a minor in a supporting discipline. Minors in marketing, business administration, communications, sociology, psychology, art, and others are useful selections for complementing the major. An important component of the curriculum which contributes to professional development is supervised field experience. The experience offers each student additional means for individual specialization. Enrollment in supervised field experience courses requires a minimum 2.50 cumulative grade point average achieved two semesters preceding the semester of field experience and maintained until the semester of field experience. As an alternative to the supervised field experience, students can earn credits in approved, upper-division electives.
Careers in both traditional and non-traditional settings are open to graduates. Entry-level positions of recent graduates include department manager for a major retail store, wholesale representative and a buyer for a retail store. Many contemporary issues of society-at-large call for the services of the family and consumer sciences graduate who seeks to affect the lives of individuals and families in positive ways.
