Bachelor of Commerce – Fashion Management

For those who are interested in the business side of fashion and management courses tailored specifically to the fashion industry, then Humber’s Bachelor of Commerce – Fashion Management degree program may be a perfect fit. The program starts with a foundation of business studies in areas such as organizational behaviour, law, economics, finance and accounting, marketing, and operations management. Specialized courses in the fashion management curriculum include twentieth-century fashion history, trend forecasting, retail and wholesale management, brand management, store planning and merchandising, global sourcing, and retail finance.

Students gain practical skills through applied projects during which they develop processes and products from the idea stage through to execution. Students will also develop business plans and apply classroom learning in fashion industry analysis, financial management and e-commerce assignments that simulate the latest challenges in the fashion industry.

The program requires that students complete 14 weeks/420 hours of a paid field experience in the summer between their sixth and seventh semesters. This gives students the hands-on, real-world experience that employers value. Field experiences will give students the opportunity to explore the field they would like to work in when they graduate. Humber’s Work-Integrated Learning Centre will work with employers and their industry partners to help students identify opportunities to pursue.

The Bachelor of Commerce – Fashion Management program will prepare graduates to take on leadership and managerial roles in this fast-paced, growing, multibillion-dollar industry. It will put students on track towards a career as a retail or wholesale buyer, planner or allocator, brand manager, distribution manager, product developer or entrepreneur.
