Because of the Apparel Design and Merchandising program at the College of Alameda, I now work as a designer in the fashion industry. I wanted to switch careers and get into fashion design but couldn't afford the larger fashion schools- I didn't worry after I found this ""don't-have-to-go-into-debt"" 2-year program.
Pros: Going through the program, it worked well with my busy schedule. 2-year program is fast and I had the summer off.
Cons: We took 4 field trips to fashion design studios when I was there. Wish there were more.
