I am so grateful to have received a certificate of Fashion Merchandising from such an amazing program! Not only do instructors go above and beyond for their students, but they also have excellent backgrounds and connections in the Southern California fashion industry. Classes are always enjoyable, and the fashion community on the Saddleback campus is one of the best to be involved in! I feel that my knowledge and understanding of the industry has been enriched by this program, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality fashion education.

I can't really tell how wonderful my experience was in the Fashion Program at Saddleback. I came all the way from Santiago, Chile  to get my degree in Fashion Merchandising and Visuals. I learned and experienced so much during my two years in school. I am proud of my accomplishments and happy to share with everybody how awesome and helpful all the Fashion courses and Professors were at Saddleback. I followed a dream and with bliss I can now say I am living it.

My journey at Saddleback was the reason to who I am right now. Traveling all the way around the world from Iran was one thing, and coming from a Persian family where everyone around me was either an engineer or a doctor was another burden on making the “right” decision for the future. I started as a Civil Engineering student here, surprisingly enough I was doing really well, but I knew engineering wasn’t my path, too dry for me, too boring, couldn’t do it. I decided to take another round so took my first Fashion class with Professor Diane Mcgroarty, Fashion 101. YES this was who I wanted to be! I made up my mind. My parents and my whole family back home were terrified! With the wonderful program at Saddleback and the amazing faculty, I showed them that I was determined to be a Fashionista. They start believing me, and now they support me more than ever. Words can’t express my gratitude towards my astonishing leaders Diane and Lindsay.
