Fashion Design
About the Program
Bachelor of Science Degree: 182.0 quarter credits
The goal of Drexel’s fashion design program is to integrate an understanding of art, craft, and design with the creation of clothing for the current market.
Fashion design encompasses the planning, design, production, and marketing of clothing. Our philosophy is for the students to achieve a seamless blend of hands-on "couture" with the right balance of skill for practical application in today's fashion industry. Our program draws on the fine arts as a base and constant point of reference for inspiration. The fashion designer’s final products answer aesthetic, functional, social and psychological needs and employ traditional and advanced technological tools.
The fashion design major prepares students for professional employment in the apparel industry including careers as fashion designers, stylists, or technical designers. Graduates are also prepared to work in positions that demand creative design ability in display, computer-aided design, advertising, merchandising nd costume design. Students exhibit their collections competitively in the annual fashion show.

Writing-Intensive Course Requirements
In order to graduate, all students must pass three writing-intensive courses after their freshman year. Two writing-intensive courses must be in a student's major. The third can be in any discipline. Students are advised to take one writing-intensive class each year, beginning with the sophomore year, and to avoid “clustering” these courses near the end of their matriculation. Transfer students need to meet with an academic advisor to review the number of writing-intensive courses required to graduate.
A "WI" next to a course in this catalog may indicate that this course can fulfill a writing-intensive requirement. For the most up-to-date list of writing-intensive courses being offered, students should check the Writing Intensive Course List at the University Writing Center. Students scheduling their courses can also conduct a search for courses with the attribute "WI" to bring up a list of all writing-intensive courses available that term. Transfer students need to meet with an academic advisor to review the number of writing-intensive courses required to graduate.
