Fashion and Retail Studies

Want to work toward a Master's degree during your senior year?

You can complete a Master's degree in FRS in just one year after your undergraduate degree!

Fashion has no limits — and neither should your education.

Undergraduate students may petition to enroll in (up to) 9 credit hours of graduate courses during their senior year (at the UG tuition rate).
