Business Division
Fashion Merchandising









Fashion promotion, visual merchandising, fashion coordination, retail buying, and store management are some of the fields for which this program prepares students. Since the fashion industry is one of the fastest growing segments of business in the Bay Area, internship and employment opportunities are readily available.

In addition to immediate employment opportunities, the Certificate and Associate in Science degree programs in Fashion Merchandising, General Merchandising, and Image Consulting provide a foundation for transfer and pursuit of a Bachelor’s degree.
