Advanced Practicum in Fashion Business: Entrepreneurship and Innovation

Catalog description

The speed with which global changes continue to restructure the fashion business demands a deeper appreciation of the many factors that shape the marketplace. In this Advanced Practicum, students will study the concept of entrepreneurship in an interdisciplinary way, considering and analyzing the role on entrepreneurship in culture, business as an engine for societal change, and the complex obligations of business to stakeholders such as the community and the environment. Throughout the semester, we will workshop aspects of entrepreneurship in fashion and students will develop and work on their own individual business ideas, create business plans, and pitch them at the end of the semester to a panel of industry experts and investors.
