The Fashion Design program at Stevenson University synthesizes the individual esthetic of the designer with an understanding of the market, historical context of fashion and costume, consumer psychology, materials and techniques of apparel construction, and the relationship to the human form. As a major within SU’s School of Design, the Fashion Design degree draws from the Visual Communication Design, Film and Video, and Business Communication programs within the School as well as Business Administration program in the University’s School of Business and Leadership.
