MKTG 3230 Fashion Fundamentals and MKTG 4220 Fashion Merchandising are prerequisites for all higher level merchandising courses.
Since all merchandising courses are taught one semester per year only and most have prerequisites, a minimum of three semesters is required to complete the merchandising minor.
It is suggested that students begin the minor by taking MKTG 3230 during the spring semester of the sophomore year.
With the exception of MKTG 3230 , all merchandising courses numbered 3000 or above require junior standing (having completed 48 credits).
