Program Description

The master’s program provides students with opportunities to pursue research and/or design scholarship with emphasis on design, merchandising, or socio-cultural and historic aspects. The faculty mentor graduate students throughout the graduate study process from coursework to graduate scholarship activities. A multidisciplinary perspective is used to integrate disciplinary knowledge, scholarship, and professional practice within a business and industry context. Courses and committee members from allied disciplines provide options for augmenting theory, skills, and methodologies. These connections allow students to individualize the program to meet their personal strengths and interests. While adding multi-disciplinary expertise and understanding, the program deepens apparel, merchandising, and textile disciplinary knowledge.
