To get started with our degree completion program, follow these steps:

1. Apply to NIU as a fashion merchandising major.
2. Sign up for orientation after you’re admitted to NIU.
3. Meet with your advisor at orientation. Tell them you have an A.A.S. degree and are interested in the degree completion program. They’ll explain how your coursework will transfer to NIU.

Additional proficiency credit may be awarded as determined at the orientation advising session, to be posted when you complete the degree requirements. You must complete 30 semester hours at NIU, excluding proficiency credit. To receive the B.S. degree, you must satisfy all university graduation and major requirements.
