Title of Motion: Request from the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts – School of Art – for the establishment of an undergraduate degree – BA in Fashion

Action Requested: This curricular proposal has received all college, school, unit and university administrative approvals, and is being presented to the Senate for review and voting decision.

technologies, and prepare for interdisciplinary collaborations through focus tracks. Drawing on the wealth of resources available at this leading research university, the program fosters the opportunity to gain skills that distinguish our students in

the fashion industry. Opportunities for internships and study abroad further advance students' professional goals. Through the leadership of well-known fashion curator, Dennita Sewell, the BA in Fashion at ASU is connected globally to leaders in the industry.
