Get to know the SAC Fashion Students!
Based on Fall 2015 student surveys, the goals of SAC Fashion students
include pursuing AA degrees, Certificates, and Transferring to Four Year
Universities. Some students are community members who simply want to
learn a new skill and other students include people who already have
their Bachelor's Degree, but are taking Fashion Classes to add to their
skill set.
