Can I get a Master's in Fashion (Merchandising or Design) with a BS in Supply Chain Management or Marketing?

I am currently attending a top 25 business school on a pretty generous scholarship. I am considering majoring in Supply Chain Management (with a possible double major in Marketing). However,i am really interested in fashion and have considered going to fashion school more than one. Unfortunately, my school does not offer Fashion Merchandising as a major :( sad day, I know. So my plan is to graduate with a BS in Supply Chain Management (my school is supposed to be the 2nd best university for it), and then maybe go on to fashion school. My question is, is it possible to get a Master's in Fashion Merchandising or Design even though my undergrad major was sort of unrelated? I am unsure of how Master programs work. Thank you.

Oh and do you think Supply Chain Management is a good major as preparation? Sort of fashion related? Thanks.


Supply Chain Management is a good major if you plan on working in fashion merchandising. As a merchandiser you are in charge of the development, distribution, logistics, sourcing, payment, and contracts for your merchandise; so Supply Chain Management is definitely related to fashion. If you want to learn more about fashion, my suggestion would be to get an associate's in fashion design or to do some internships in the fashion industry.

Most colleges don't offer masters programs in fashion merchandising or design, but I know that F.I.T. has a masters program in global fashion management and they also have a one year associate program in fashion design for people that have already fulfilled liberal arts requirements or bachelor degrees.

Yes, you can. Grad schools look at your work experience along with your undergrad work. Minor in fashion or art or family consumer science or a related field. Also work and/or volunteer in the fashion industry for some real world experience.
