Is fashion your passion? Are you on top of trends in style and color? Do you dream of being a top executive with a major retailer? Lynn University will give you the skills and knowledge that you need to start on the path to an exciting career in fashion and retail. A big advantage of our program is that you graduate with a business degree that gives you broader career options than a fashion degree alone.
Preparing you to excel in the fashion business involves more than just academics, so Lynn goes far beyond the classroom. You will have many different hands-on opportunities with our “Lynn Learning in Action” projects: producing the annual fashion show, traveling to fashion weeks in New York and Los Angeles and the MAGIC (Men's Apparel Guild in California) trade show in Las Vegas; or helping a local boutique choose the right assortment of merchandise. Every year there are new and exciting projects.
Dedicated staff and faculty will match your career interests with internship opportunities in successful dynamic businesses. When you graduate, you will have the preparation, confidence, and network you need to excel in the fashion and retail world.
