Key Facts

The Fashion Design and Merchandising BA program from Mississippi State University emphasizes the total design and production process from inception to finished product and its ultimate sale to the consumer.

Specialized labs and industry software provide students with extensive hands-on experience in the latest design, product development, and fashion retailing technology applications.

The Fashion Design and Merchandising major offers an accelerated program to earn both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in a shorter length of time. Students in the Accelerated Program take graduate-level courses and earn both undergraduate credit and graduate credit simultaneously. Students need to consult with a potential graduate advisor to ensure graduate credit could be applied to a program of study for the graduate degree. Applications to these programs are submitted in the junior year (i.e., after completion of 60 or more hours of graded undergraduate courses).
