UD Fashion Open House! Friday, October 3, 2025
from 9:00am-1:00pm

Each year, the Fashion and Apparel Studies Department offers a unique opportunity for high school seniors interested in exploring our majors:

Fashion Merchandising and Management is grounded in core business fundamentals as well as textiles, computer competencies and communication classes. A Business Administration minor is embedded in the major.

Fashion Design and Product Innovation focuses on key foundational design skills such as pattern making, draping, technical design and sewing coupled with business, trend forecasting, art, and textile courses. The breadth of courses cast a wide net for students to succeed in a wide variety of career pathways.

Prospective students will meet our faculty, participate in workshops, interact with current students and learn more about the many opportunities our programs provide. It is a great time for high school seniors to sit with our current students and ask questions about our department, the University of Delaware, and college life!

The Fashion Open House is scheduled for Friday, October 3, 2025 this year!
