A Fashion Design major, usually a bachelor's degree, covers sketching and fashion illustration, pattern making, draping, sewing and garment construction, textiles and materials, color and design theory, and computer-aided design (CAD). Programs typically include the study of fashion history, trend research, and the business of fashion, and most culminate in a portfolio and a senior collection that students present to faculty and industry reviewers. Internships with design houses, manufacturers, or retailers are common.

Graduates develop, design, and produce clothing, footwear, and accessories, working through the full cycle from concept sketches and material selection to fittings and production specs. A bachelor's degree is the typical entry-level education for fashion designers, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics; a graduate degree is generally not required, and a strong portfolio carries significant weight in hiring. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects 2% employment growth for fashion designers from 2024 to 2034, and reports a 2024 median annual wage of $80,690 for the occupation.
