This semester, two advanced courses are being offered: the "Global Fashion Expert Practical & Career Creation Program" and the "CLO 3D Fashion Design & Career Creation Program."

The Global Fashion Expert program features Kim Ikhwan and various executives and employees of Hansae Co., Ltd. as instructors.
