\"Baylor<\/p>\n

High school students dreaming of a career in the fashion business but also wanting the experience\u00a0of a four-year private school can find no better spot for both than Baylor. So says a new ranking from fashion-schools.org, a website that serves as a resource for anyone interested in\u00a0a degree in fashion design.<\/p>\n

Baylor\u2019s fashion merchandising<\/a> offerings are\u00a0ranked\u00a0No. 1 among all private schools<\/a> and among\u00a0the top 10%\u00a0of all schools<\/a>, public and private (12th overall).\u00a0Fashion merchandising covers the business side of the industry — buying, merchandising, marketing and beyond.<\/p>\n

But Baylor\u2019s fashion accolades are not limited to business. On the design side, Baylor Apparel Design and Product Development<\/a>\u00a0is ranked\u00a021st in the nation<\/a>\u00a0(and No. 3 in the region<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The Fashion Schools website touts Baylor students\u2019 access to the state-of-the-art Parker Design & Technology Center<\/a>, annual fashion show, field experiences, and students who have interned with some of the top names in fashion.\u00a0Waco may be\u00a0a long way from the fashion hub of New York City, but Baylor’s apparel programs — part of the Department of Family & Consumer Sciences<\/a> —\u00a0has for years quietly attracted the attention of many in the industry.<\/p>\n
