Millinery
The Competency-Based Certificate program in Millinery Techniques was developed in response to the renewed demand for quality headwear. The purpose of the program is to develop students' skills to a level of professionalism in millinery techniques that will meet the most stringent demands of industry and the consumer.
The program consists of six sequential courses in Millinery Techniques which are currently offered over a four-semester time span. Projects range from fundamental to more advanced skills and processes in millinery techniques.
