FM 4301 – Internship in Fashion Merchandising

The internship in the Fashion Merchandising program is designed to allow participants to be employed in an educationally-oriented practical experience. This experience should be identifiable as being significantly related to the Fashion Merchandising program.

The Department of Family and Consumer Sciences has instituted the internship requirement in an attempt to provide a mechanism to promote interaction between the student and the work environment. Through the internship each participant will have an opportunity simultaneously to translate theory into operational applications and gain on-the-job experience.

Upon completion of the internship, the participant should be able to evaluate objectively the experience and offer recommendations potentially resulting in positive change for the student and the program area. The evaluation of the internship experience by the supervisor, student and faculty could result in recommendations for the continuation of and/or the implementation of more effective instructional techniques. At the conclusion of the internship experience, the student should identify personal and professional strengths and areas for improvement.

Before enrolling in internship, the student must satisfy the following criteria:

  • Completed a minimum of 66% of semester credit hours in the major (FM).
