If you pursue a Master of Professional Studies (MPS) in Fashion Merchandising and Retail Management, Fashion Marketing, or Global Fashion Supply Chain Management, you'll complete either a 3-credit internship that includes an in-class component or take an advanced management course.
The internship's class component explores the types of jobs available in corporate and store environments and covers professional development topics. The management course, Influencing in Organizations, helps you develop skills that are important to succeed in nearly all work settings, including receiving feedback, making persuasive presentations, influencing others, and managing negotiations. The course is experiential, providing opportunities to observe, analyze, and practice your influencing skills.
If you're in the Global Fashion Supply Chain Management program, you can take People & Project Management, a course which focuses on the human relations and project management aspects of supply chain management. You will learn how to manage complex team structures, such as those often found within the supply chain network. You'll also acquire basic project management skills, such as resource and time management, while learning how to assign and monitor responsibilities within a project team.
