“We are thrilled to launch the first Bachelor of Arts degree at CCS. It is a true reflection of the strength and spirit of the CCS community, where creativity meets critical thinking and cultural awareness,” said Don Tuski, CCS President. “The Fashion Business Management BA will allow creative thinkers to explore the intersections of art and commerce in a city that has long shaped the future of fashion, design, craft and culture. As always, we are committed to cultivating an inclusive, forward-looking learning environment where all students can thrive, create the cutting edge and reimagine the world through art and design.”
Students will develop skills in merchandising, styling, marketing strategy, brand development, trend forecasting and fashion communications—disciplines essential to shaping and sustaining relevance in global markets. Throughout the program, CCS emphasizes a strategic approach to business, cultural literacy, and entrepreneurial thinking.
A hallmark of the experience is its collaborative structure, which brings Fashion Business Management students into direct engagement with peers in the College’s BFA Fashion Design program. This multidisciplinary model reflects the internal ecosystems of contemporary fashion houses and gives students early exposure to creative and commercial cross-functionality.
Through CCS’s deeply established industry partnerships and Fashion Advisory Board, students benefit from direct mentorship and exposure to leaders at the forefront of the global fashion industry. Advisory board and industry affiliations include Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Bottega Veneta, Tracy Reese, Tapestry, Carhartt, Anna Sui, and Eileen Fisher.
