학과소개
의류학은 인간생활에 필수적인 역할을 담당하는 복식과 사회를 연관지어 종합적으로 연구하는 학문으로 의류에 대한 이론과 실습이 병행된 전문지식을 배우는 학문입니다.
의류학과에서는 패션사회심리, 패션마케팅, 패션과 문화, 패션유통론 등 인문사회영역과 소재를 선택하고 제품을 만드는 의복재료학, 의복구성학 등의 자연과학영역, 그리고 색채, 패션디자인, 패션드로잉과 같은 예술 영역을 배우게 됩니다. 즉, 의류학과에서는 의복의 소재에서부터 인간이 착용하고 있는 상태까지의 의복의 기능적, 미적, 경제적인 모든 문제를 취급한다고 할 수 있습니다. 의류학과는 이러한 다각적이고 유기적인 접근을 통해 의생활의 향상을 도모하고 기초이론을 정립, 체계화시키며 전반적인 의복문화의 향상 발전을 목적으로 합니다.
의류학과는 의류업계에서 필요한 이론, 디자인과 실무 등의 지식을 포괄적으로 습득 가능하다는 장점을 가지고 있습니다. 따라서 졸업 후에는 이런 장점을 살려 의류기획 패션머천다이저, 패션디자이너, 모델리스트, 테크니컬디자이너, 바이어, 패션에디터, 스타일리스트 등의 패션 전문인으로 활약하게 됩니다.

Advice from Seniors
Take the course, "the Creative Costume Design Studio". It is our top recommendation. In the course, you design a unique costume incorporating all of your knowledge and skills you learn in 4 years of study in the major. Your design work will be presented on a professional runway at the annual fashion show. It is a great experience for you as professional models wear your own design and present it on the runway.
We also recommend the course, "Fashion Design and Merchandising Planning". Students in the course select and analyze their desired brand and plan fashion products for a selected season. After completion of the course, you apply for a national merchandise planning contest held by the Korean Society of Clothing and Textiles. Students who participated in the contest previously received many awards and this will be a wonderful opportunity for you.
