The Department of Textiles, Merchandising and Interiors offers students the opportunity of combining their academic learning with practical work experience. This is accomplished through the internship program in each of the department's majors. Students gain experience that is designed to confirm career choices and develop skills needed in future employment. The internship program develops student leadership and managerial skills through a learning contract with the intern, the department and the employer. An internship provides students with an excellent career opportunity for future employment.
The internship is an optional experience. TMI students enroll in 3-6 hours of TXMI 5910 (Internship) for a full time internship in the student's area of specialization. Review the requirements and special circumstances for internships in each major. Please see your academic advisor for information about prerequisites, requirements, and application procedure required for each major.
In the field of Fashion Merchandising, work experience with international, national and regional fashion companies is essential. Fashion Merchandising students intern with retailers, manufacturers, showrooms, design houses, and fashion magazines.
Students must meet specific requirements to qualify for a summer internship in Fashion Merchandising. See below for the specific list of requirements. Applications to participate in an internship are submitted the spring semester before the internship start date in the summer.
Recent Fashion Merchandising students have interned with Neiman Marcus, Macy's, David Yurman, Marc Jacobs, Nordstrom, Target, Americas Mart-Atlanta, Escada, Nicole Miller, Armani Exchange and Harper's Bazaar.
