Retail and Merchandising

The MS in Retail & Merchandising (RMER) program is designed for early- to- mid-career professionals in retail and merchandising and for those who are looking to make a career change into the industry. RMER students develop advanced skills to think critically, consider theoretical perspectives, research and solve problems, and implement innovative solutions in a dynamic global marketplace inclusive of lifestyle areas such as home, beauty and personal care, health and wellness, and prepared foods and pet products.

The two-year RMER program is structured with a year of core curriculum followed by a year of in-depth research, data collection, and completion of a project or thesis. Program content will challenge and engross students in the areas of analytical and critical-thinking, retail data analysis, visual and retail communication, technological movements, social media, merchandising, and retail "future" strategies through scholarship, applied learning online, and applied learning in the field. RMER graduates pursue leadership roles and career growth in the areas of retail, merchandising, supply-chain, and brand industries.
