  • Course description
    Fashion reflects the political mood, economic conditions, technical achievements, aesthetic standards, and social milieu of a given culture. As a profession, fashion includes design, engineering, production, merchandising, advertising and marketing. The foundation for a successful career in fashion is the integration of all these elements.  Students who successfully complete the Fashion Design program at Columbia College Chicago will be able to demonstrate conceptual, critical thinking, and communications skills, and have the foundation necessary to enter fashion-related industries.

The goal of the Fashion Design program curriculum is to offer students the foundation from which to grow as an artist and a sculptor, and to acquire the skills related to the art and profession.
