Retail Merchandising Minor
Bringing together business, fashion and marketing with a minor in retail merchandising.
A minor in retail merchandising will provide a focus on the retail and merchandising function and will provide opportunities for students to become professionals capable of entering the workforce of retail and fashion. The minor is a way for students to diversify their education and incorporate analytical thinking, business skills and global apparel perspective into their overall academic experience. The coursework is designed to prepare students with a better understanding of the retail and merchandising function in the apparel and fashion industry, which will expand their understanding of how the retail experience and the merchandise meets the needs of the consumer, allows them to identify the origins and meanings of trends and broadens their understanding of the political, economic and social factors that play a role in the global market.
