Academic Programs
Apparel, Housing, and Resource Management programs offer active learning opportunities including design studios, real-world projects, internships, study abroad, and undergraduate research.
Our talented faculty members specialize in a wide array of topics, and they're always mentoring students with independent research projects of their own. Classes are small and highly engaged, and our close-knit students hold regular social and service events.
Several courses incorporate a service-learning component that allows students to work with an organization. Projects have included bath design for a local show house, volunteering at a retirement community, helping small businesses with marketing plans, conducting the Reality Store financial management simulation for local high schools, and leading the VT Saves social marketing program.
Double Major Opportunities
There are multiple opportunities for students to double major in the Department of Apparel, Housing, and Resource Management.
