Comments from previous students:

• Strengths: Professors were well educated and had real world experience. Weaknesses: no homework, quizzes or papers to keep students engaged. Entire grades are dependent on finals.
• I loved the management of fashion companies! I took it non-attending which I do not recommend because the final I got was much harder than everyone else’s. I loved it so much because I had a strong interest in fashion and what better place to take a fashion course than Milan. I learned so much about the industry and how lucrative it can really be. The class definitely motivated me to pursue a career in the fashion industry. There is no class I wouldn’t recommend but beware of the financial contracting class. The professor will teach something completely different in class than what is on the actual exam, it will have you very confused come exam time. The professors were the top in their industries and they helped you gain a global perspective by comparing the principles in both Europe and the US.
