Looking for a career in fashion design? Prepare to get your dreams under way today. With a fashion design degree from O'More College of Design, students will acquire the required knowledge to further their career, or get a foot in the door - almost immediately upon graduation.

By employing the latest technologies and by teaching the latest trends - staff at the university are able to encourage students to think outside the box. The University has a huge focus on the future, and therefore students are actually encouraged to create new and exciting designs based on their own interpretations of ideas.

Learning at O'More College of Design

This university is no joke. The college has spent millions of dollars upgrading its campus (in Franklin, Tennessee) in recent years. These upgrades have resulted in the following learning resources for students:

• State-of-the-art CAD lab.
• Sewing studio.
• 8:1 student/teacher ratio (i.e. have hired more staff).

These are all but to name a few of the improvements. The campus itself has received renovations, and students are now able to relax back in specially designed collaboration and cooperation centres around the campus, whenever they wish.

Production studios and productivity areas (quiet areas) have also been positioned to take advantage of the wonderful setting on which the campus resides.

Intensive Training and High Expectations

Unlike other universities in America, O'More College of Design takes itself very seriously. Course content is delivered at a fast pace (whilst not compromising on quality). Equally, students are expected to perform to a high level.

Field trips, regular guest speakers, and internships or employment field days are all a part of the daily life of a student at the college. These employment field days are probably the most exciting feature that students look forward to. Because of relationships built with the university, students are able to visit local organisations and work for a day.

In the past, these organisations have included:

• David Rodriguez.
• Vera Wang.
• Esquire Magazine.
• Amsale Bridal.

Evidently, this take on fashion education seems to be working. Every year, students who participated in programs at O'More College of design are promoted to key positions in the fashion industry. The College's website lists all of these successful alumni with pride.
