    fashion retailing Concentration for AT majors

    The fashion retailing concentration is planned for students interested in preparing for merchandising and management careers in retailing and related fashion fields. Supervised internships are offered during the senior year for students who have successfully completed 86 hours, of which must include a set of specific professional courses. During the full-semester internship, the student participates in an approved work experience. Through careful planning with the adviser, a general business minor may be completed with two additional courses.
