The Department of Fashion Design and Merchandising encourages all students to complete an internship.  An internship is one of the best experiences a student can have during his or her undergraduate studies.  Internships provide hands-on, on-site learning and help students build their professional networks.  Internship opportunities are available all over the U.S and the world, and include experiences in areas such as product development, design room assistant, buying or merchandise management assistant, forecasting, and technical design.
