Designed for entrepreneurs, executives, and rising stars in firms both large and small, the LIM College MBA program will propel your career. Leaders in the business of fashion— whether in retail, merchandising, design or marketing—need a comprehensive, top-to-bottom understanding of the entire industry. That’s just the way fashion works. And the LIM College MBA, the nation’s only MBA program devoted exclusively to the business of fashion, is the best way to prepare for a leadership role in this exciting industry.

With concentrations in Fashion Management and Entrepreneurship, the new MBA at LIM College is the first and only program of its kind in the nation. It’s customized, comprehensive, flexible, hands-on, and industry-oriented.

As Mark Mendelson, President of Ellen Tracy says, “There is a great need for a unique program such as this, given the dearth of current talent development programs in the fashion and related industries. LIM College is stepping in at a crucial time to fill this void and create leaders who can meet current challenges and successfully move our industry into the future.”
