About program
Ask any of our students pursuing a master’s degree in Apparel Product Development and Merchandising about their day-to-day experiences in this two-year program. They’re sure to tell you about working on the cutting edge of fashion with a high-tech learning curve that makes all the difference. Through a creative and collaborative approach to the study of apparel and textiles, our primary goal is to introduce students to real-world apparel and design – from concept development to retail distribution using advanced knowledge and creativity in design, production, evaluation and technology.
Imagine working with Cotton, Incorporated on a 3D virtual selling space; or using a thermal manikin to help Lululemon evaluate the thermal properties of fabrics for potential use in their apparel; or examining Polartec fabrics on runners using infra-red thermography.
Graduates will be prepared for executive level positions in apparel and textile product design and development, CAD technology, industry research and development, as well as for careers in higher education and government. This program is also appropriate for those individuals seeking further graduate study at the Ph.D. level.
The Dual-Degree Option allows undergraduate students to apply 9 hours of graduate work toward both their bachelor’s and master’s degrees.

The comprehensive exam will be designed to measure outcomes related to the student’s program rather than outcomes which are limited to particular courses. The component, format and time set for the comprehensive examination will be determined by the major advisor in consultation with other faculty on the student’s committee. The exam may require the student to answer a detailed question, write a research proposal on a particular topic, describe a process for developing a product, complete a case analysis, provide a critical review of a manuscript, or solve a particular problem. Students may use their course materials and other sources of information in answering the exam question.
The comprehensive examination will be administered during the fall (First full week of November) or spring semester (First full week of April) in which the student plans to complete the courses required on their program of study. Students are responsible for notifying their advisor during the first week of their final semester indicating their intent to take the comprehensive written examination that semester.
The faculty comprising the student’s supervisor committee will have two weeks to review the exam responses. The student will be notified of the outcome shortly thereafter. An oral defense of the written exam may be scheduled if deemed necessary by the major professor or committee.
Total: 30-36 hours
