How do I apply?

Applying to study abroad is a two-step process. You may complete both steps simultaneously, but the Cornell approval process must be complete before your program advisor in the Office of Global Learning can submit any approval or nomination to the program.

1. For Cornell Approval, click on the "Apply" button on this webpage. Applications are approved by the Office of Global Learning on a rolling basis until the application deadline listed on this page.
2. For Program Admission, complete an external application directly on the program’s webpage, using the link in the “Snapshot” section. (Note: This deadline may be in advance of the general Cornell deadline for approval. Many programs fill by rolling admission.)
   • The external application requires an academic reference that must come from a faculty or graduate assistant, and can be provided by references outside the fashion curriculum.
   • Fashion Product Design and Advanced Fashion Design applicants must submit a portfolio.
   • Fashion Business, Fashion Media and Communication, and Media and Communication applicants must submit a sample of written work.
