Is there such a thing as an accredited master's degree in fashion design?

I have a family member who wants to come to this country to continue her education in fashion design. She already has a B.A, but is looking for a Master's program. I can't seem to find anything besides online classes. Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks in advance for the help.

  1. Not sure, but you can tell her to try a Masters in business, that will combine with her fashion degree to make her able to work in business sections of fashion too. It can be pretty valuable.
  2. I was once looking into attending Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in los angeles this link might help you www.fidm.com
  3. gradschools.com lists all the graduate programs in the country, so if it exists you'll be able to find it there.
  4. It's very rare to find a master's in fashion design. She can just come to the US and start her career right away. Surprisingly few people (less than 8 percent) leave the profession in the rough early years, perhaps because they are prepared for the rigorous, unremunerative entry-level jobs. The hours are long, and the duties are ill defined; one day the duties may include tracking down magazine articles on the resurgence of 1970s style, and on another day, duties may include finding the phone numbers of five dance clubs and finding out which night is most popular with the 19–27-year-old crowd. Connections and networking are important during these early years; most designers learn as much about the business as they can. Some of them take part-time jobs in other fields to pay the rent. But if she wants to continue her education... 1. Michigan State 2. Drexel 3. Florida State
