About The College Of Design, Architecture, Art, And Planning

The College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP) at the University of Cincinnati invites applications for a Fashion Design faculty position in the top-ranked Myron E. Ullman, Jr. School of Design (SoD). The primary mission of the College of DAAP is the creation of a better cultural and design environment. The School of Design's role in advancing that mission is to prepare our approximately 1,000 undergraduate and graduate students to be responsible professionals and citizens in a complex and evolving world. We achieve this through a distinctive, rigorous, carefully sequenced curriculum that includes a substantial cooperative education program component dating back more than 100 years. This curricular model, expressed in classrooms, research labs, and professional offices all over the world, integrates practice and theory.

The Fashion Design curriculum covers all facets of apparel design, technical design, textiles, design research, fashion illustration, product development, and trend forecasting.
