addition, a variety of learning formats are available including on-campus, online, and blended. Blended programs require students to complete part of the degree on campus and the other part online.
No matter which type of school or format you choose, the curriculum will be similar or the same. An accredited online fashion marketing degree program will cover accounting, art theory/fashion history, consumer behavior, fundamentals of fashion merchandising, marketing and promotion, merchandising trends, multi-channel retailing, principles of apparel design, product development, public relations, and retail merchandising. Depending on your location, internship opportunities may be available at small local retailers and many chain stores. If you are attending an online school, speak with the program director about possible internship opportunities before applying.
