About the course

The BFA in Fashion Design trains the next generation of designers to be on the forefront of fashion, technology, and material innovation. Located in the country?s West Coast cultural and technology hub, the CCA fashion program prepares young professionals to meet a rapidly changing global fashion industry by imagining new modes of dress and construction of garments, as well as learning how to make connections across disciplines.
