YOUR LIM COLLEGE EDUCATION

The philosophy behind all of LIM College’s degree programs is simple: the best way to learn about the business of fashion is to experience it. That’s why we send students out into the fashion world early in their education-and give them a wealth of opportunities to experience it.

This catalog gives you details about what you’ll learn, the courses you’ll take, the people you’ll meet, how to apply to LIM College, and how to afford your education.
