This program submission is making a name change to an existing AS and COA to better align the name of the degree and certificate to the purpose of each: from Fashion Design and Merchandising to Fashion Merchandising and Management. There is very little design in this program. There is no change to the courses.
Please list similar programs at other colleges in the service area which may be impacted, including the name of the college, the name of the program that may be impacted, the name of the person you contacted and the outcome of that contact.
There are no similar programs in the SC-Monterey Sub-Region.
