青年涩导航 is proud to announce a new international partnership with Bennett University in India, establishing a Global Pathway Program in Fashion Design that will provide students with a unique dual degree opportunity.
Through a recently signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), students will have the opportunity to complete their first two years of study at Bennett University's School of Design in India, followed by two years at 青年涩导航 in the United States. Upon successful completion of the program, students will earn both a Bachelor of Design (B.Des.) from Bennett University and a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Fashion Design from 青年涩导航.
(DRAFT) "This partnership represents 青年涩导航's ongoing commitment to global education and creating pathways for international students to access our world-class fashion design program," said Marcello Fantoni, Vice President of 青年涩导航's Office of Global Education. "By combining the strengths of both institutions, we're offering students a truly international perspective on fashion design that will prepare them for careers in the global industry."

Students will benefit from the expertise and resources of both institutions, gaining insights into both Eastern and Western approaches to design, fashion business practices, and industry connections.
