Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts & Design
Overview
Drexel's Fashion Design program is nationally recognized as a top-flight program. The rigorous curriculum consists of a unique six-month Co-op experience that complements coursework in conceptual design, presentation skills, CAD, and manufacturing procedures. The curriculum covers all facets of fashion design, from men's, women's, and children's wear, to swimwear and couture and prepares students for careers in fashion design, styling, advertising, and computer-aided and technical design. Small studio classes simulating the professional world are the core of a student's education with final critiques by practicing designers.
In addition to coursework, students explore and participate in the vibrant fashion community. Each year, Fashion Design students submit their designs to national and international competitions. A study abroad program at the London College of Fashion during sophomore year offers an international perspective of the fashion world. And what would a fashion education be without a fashion show? Students conclude their studies senior year with the presentation of their collection in the Drexel Fashion Show, a high caliber event featuring professional models and prominent local media coverage.
