Specialize in the Business of Fashion

Given that fashion reaches into every corner of the world and influences almost every industry, you’ll gain a competitive career advantage by being able to function in several modes. Unlike many fashion programs, Humber’s two-year fashion diploma specializes in the business of fashion, not design. Students become savvy in every aspect of the fashion industry—apparel, accessories, cosmetics—from a business, marketing, and event production perspective. You’ll apply what you learn in marketing, store operations, new venture development, and international trade.
