Fashion Design Management

The groundbreaking international M.S. in Fashion Design Management program, developed in partnership with Politecnico di Milano, is uniquely focused on developing design and fashion leaders of tomorrow. By moving beyond the hand-crafted approach to fashion, you will have the opportunity to focus on design as a strategic function, integrated along the cycle of research and design, product development, branding and distribution.

The 18-month program will prepare you to enter managerial roles within the apparel industry. Immersive industry experiences on an international level will teach to work within a corporate brand structure, incorporating technology and social media metrics into globalization and the brand building process.

The M.S. in Fashion Design Management program is made possible through its cohort structure. A class of students begin at respective universities for the first semester. During the second semester, Politecnico di Milano students join the cohort at Thomas Jefferson University to work side-by-side and share global perspectives. In the final semester, all students will travel to Milan to attend classes at Politecnico di Milano.
