AA/AS in Apparel and Textiles

The Fashion Design associate degree at Santa Ana College teaches the aesthetic concepts and technical skills needed to work in fashion design, alongside general education requirements. Students may enter the field directly or transfer to a university program. The program prepares students for entry-level positions in apparel design for custom clients, theater costuming and manufacturing operations. Completing the degree can help graduates find a position and advance in the field. This is an associate-level program at a public community college, so it can serve students who plan to enter the workforce as well as those continuing to a four-year university. The college page links a program map and a catalog entry for planning courses, and students are encouraged to talk with a counselor to confirm how the degree fits their goals.
