Apparel Design and Technology
Students majoring in Fashion Design and Production, Fashion Merchandising and Interior Design are required to have their own laptop computers with appropriate software capabilities including Sketch-Up, AutoCAD, Revit and Photoshop.
This past year the College of Education and Human Sciences did away with all Macs in the classrooms. The Fashion Merchandising has also started a Digital Product Creation certificate for our students. Therefore the Fashion Merchandising major asks that students get the following computer (minimum requirements).
