    This 12-month program follows a fall-spring-summer semester progression. The program begins with Introduction to Fashion Management, a one-week, for-credit course that provides a deep dive into the New York City fashion industry.
     
    Each semester, on-campus students follow a curriculum of three to five courses, including a mentored experiential course. Students take Individual Research in the fall, Professional Development (an internship or work-study chosen by the student) in the spring, and Capstone Project in the summer.
