Certificate Programs

A Professional Certificate from LIM College lets employers know that you possess specialized knowledge in a particular area of the fashion industry and allows you to enhance your skills without committing to an entire degree program. Each Certificate program is comprised of a group of courses that can be completed in as little as one adademic year.

A Certificate program may be right for you if you seek to:

  • prepare for a career change
  • advance your career
  • increase job security

Professional Certificate programs are comprised of 4 or 5 credit-bearing courses from our undergraduate or graduate curriculum which focus on a specific area of fashion. Courses are offered in the traditional classroom format during the evening or in “hybrid” mode - part of the course is completed in the classroom and part is conducted online. Classes are held during the fall (Aug. – Dec.) and spring (Jan. – May) semesters. Costs for the Professional Certificates are based on the credit hour costs of either our undergraduate or graduate tuition.

  • Event Planning
  • Retail Management 
  • Visual Merchandising 

Advanced (graduate) Certificates are available in:
