Fashion retailing concentration for AT majors

The fashion retailing concentration is planned for students interested in preparing for merchandising and management careers in retailing and related fashion fields. Supervised internships are offered during the senior year for students who have successfully completed 86 semester hours. The 86 hours must include the following group of professional courses, completed with a grade point average of 2.5 or higher, prior to enrollment in CTD 481 and CTD 485: CTD 102; CTD 231; CTD 261; CTD 281; CTD 320; CTD 447; MKT 300; MKT 321; MKT 313, MKT 337, MKT 444, or MKT 410; EC 110; EC 111 or ST 260; and accounting. The first half of the internship consists of class meetings on campus; during the second half of the internship, the student participates in an approved work experience. A student interested in an international retailing focus should consult with his or her adviser early in the sequence to plan coursework and internship experience. Through careful planning with the adviser, a general business minor may be completed with two additional courses.
