In the apparel merchandising program, students are exposed to the processes used in creating apparel, as well as the means by which it is merchandised. The interior design program addresses the multidisciplinary design process used in the creation of interior space. The Certificate in Fashion Design combines the studio arts of fashion with a major in a related area. The Department of Apparel Merchandising and Interior Design is home to The Elizabeth Sage Historic Costume Collection, which consists of more than 20,000 objects of women's, men's, and children's clothing, dating from the late eighteenth century to the present day. The Sage Collection is used in the study of the history and preservation of costume and textiles. Majors in Apparel Merchandising or Interior Design—B.S.PurposeThis program provides the student with two options: a concentration in apparel merchandising or a concentration in interior design. These options integrate knowledge from the arts and the physical, social, and business sciences with behavioral and technical studies in textiles, apparel, furniture, and interior design. Supervised internships are available. Upon admission to the apparel merchandising major, students must complete all courses required for the major with a C– or higher, including all required courses outside of AMID, and must have a minimum 2.000 overall GPA in all courses required for the major. Upon admission to the interior design major, students must receive a grade of C– or higher in extradepartmental requirements. They must receive a grade of C or higher in H168 to be considered for enrollment in H271. They must complete all other AMID requirements with a grade of C or higher. Students not receiving a grade of C or higher in any studio or its corequisite lectures/labs will not be permitted to enroll in interior design courses the following semester. Students may not enroll in any corequisite lab /lecture course in interior design until they are eligible to enroll in the respective corequisite studio course.
