Online Fashion Merchandising Program

With a degree in fashion merchandising, you can pursue a variety of career paths in the fashion industry.

However, it is not possible for everyone to take part in the traditional on-campus student experience. If you have a full-time job, childcare responsibilities, or both, you may not be able to attend class on campus at specific times, so an online program might be a much better fit for you.

Offering a comprehensive curriculum that combines theoretical knowledge with practical skills, LIM College’s online fashion merchandising program (the BBA in Fashion Merchandising) will prepare you to succeed in the business of fashion, while also providing you with the flexibility to complete your coursework on your own time.
