The Department of Apparel Merchandising and Interior Design (AMID) offers two exciting degrees:
Apparel Merchandising is the perfect major for students who would like to spend their career in one of many roles in the dynamic, ever-changing fashion industry. Careers as store or department manager, buyer, or visual merchandiser are typical. Students in apparel merchandising acquire a broad knowledge of people and their behavior, an understanding of the world at large and technical knowledge and skills to select fabrics and plan and produce fashion goods. A special feature of the apparel merchandising program at SDSU is our cooperative arrangement with the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) located in New York City. Students can spend one semester or one year studying fashion in New York while applying those classes directly to their bachelor's degree at SDSU. At the same time, they can earn an associate degree from FIT.
Interior design is a major for students who would like to design space. The mission of our major is to promote the awareness and knowledge of the contributions of interior design to the health, safety and well-being of people. Graduates of the interior design program work in residential design (homes), commercial design (business environments), health-related design such as hospitals, educational facilities such as schools, and many other facility design projects. Interior designers also have the option to specialize in such areas as kitchen or bathroom design. Interior design students design largely through computer-aided design (CAD) where they purchase laptop computers to use both in and outside of the classroom.
The department is located on the 2nd floor of the NFA building. All facilities were recently renovated to include high-tech teaching laboratories, a student design gallery, and a new home for the historic collections.
We invite you to find out more about these exciting program areas!
