13 Why We Have the Process? It is important that students are able to demonstrate proficiency in foundational skills before moving to upper level courses The Apparel and Fashion Design industries are extremely competitive, so our students need to demonstrate skills necessary for success Studio courses are small in number to be effective. Hence, we will accept the top ranking students into the Creative/Technical Design Option
