What's different about Mount Mary's Fashion Design Program?

Mount Mary University’s fashion bachelor’s degree program was the first in the nation to start a four-year fashion degree program. When you're a fashion design student, you work directly with experienced faculty who have connections with prominent brands such as Harley-Davidson, Fashion Angels, BonTon Inc, Kohl's, Jockey, Lands' End. With small class sizes, you get the attention and mentorship all fashion greats deserve.

Our notable fashion design alumnae include Donna Ricco '81, who designed a dress worn by First Lady Michelle Obama on “The View;” Karen Davidson '81, who started the branded line of Harley-Davidson MOTORCLOTHES and Eliza Audley '91, who designed athletic apparel worn by professional tennis player Lisa Raymond and by other tennis stars during the 2012 London Olympics.
