My major is apparel merchandising (NOT DESIGN) at Auburn University and I have been in this major for 2 semesters (spent first 2 semesters in biomed 😬). Here’s some tips if you’re thinking about it! (these may be specific to my school so if you’re also a fashion major feel free to drop some tips below) and no— you don’t have to go to a fashion school.
🤎is it easy?
- you only have to take the basic math, science, english, and history classes (core classes).
-so far there have been a lot of memorization for fashion related things (textiles, brands, etc.) and you must learn and pay attention because these things build.
-lots of group work and projects that can be stressful but if you really love what you’re doing the hard work really pays off in the end.
-we have to take business classes like accounting and marketing and other professional electives that are hard and will stress you out if you don’t study and apply what you learn.
🤎do i have to be fashionable?
-no!
-most people dress normally and wear loungewear or athleisure like everyone else on campus. when i’m not going to class i like to pretend im fashionable and people say they like my outfits but i don’t think im much more stylish than any of my other friends :)
🤎advice
-minor in business or marketing to widen your job pool
-get as many scholarships as you can as early as you can so you can save money to study abroad or intern in another city
-start looking for internships as soon as possible— apply everywhere!
-don’t focus too much on the success of those around you, work at your own pace and try to reach your own personal goals
🤎cons
-hard to get internships and jobs if you’re not already connected (make connections through clubs and events)
-less available classes so you may not be able to get a class you want at a time you want
🤎feel free to ask any questions in the comments for me to answer! I will edit the post as i think of more things to add.
