As a program of the College of Business, FID and FCSed students benefit from the use of the college’s resources. The College of Business is an area leader in business education with courses and career counseling to help you excel, whether you plan to work for an agency or begin your own company.
Interior design students regularly benefit from one of the most comprehensive sample libraries in the state. Local design firms and suppliers provide wallpaper, flooring and other samples for use in interior design student assignments and projects.
If you are pursuing a degree in fashion design or fashion merchandising, you complete your faculty-supervised projects in the department’s garment construction laboratories.
Students also benefit from the recent addition of Kaledo design software in the state-of-the-art FID computer labs. Kaledo is used by many design houses and increases efficiency in the design process. The software makes design easier by bringing together your fabric, component and style choices in the system. You can visualize how each element works together and how your changes will be reflected in the collection.
