Fashion Design Creative Process (Summer College)

Fashion Design Creative Process is a two-week noncredit summer course for high school students at Syracuse University's School of Design. Students study how the fashion industry and fashion design work, learn the basics of fashion sketching and illustration, explore sustainable and upcycled design, and develop a capsule collection with their professors. Afternoons are spent in the School of Design's fashion studios, and the course ends with an exhibition of student designs at the Nancy Cantor Warehouse. In 2026 the course ran July 5 to 17 and cost $4,995 for residential students and $4,024 for commuters. Students receive a certificate of completion and can request a noncredit transcript.

Open to rising high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors and recent high school graduates. 2027 dates and deadlines have not been posted.
