Why are there so many more fashion degrees in Europe than in America?

Question

Just wondering, because I've been looking for graduate degrees in fashion and discovered that London/England/Italy/etc, offer a lot more graduate degrees (even undergraduate degrees) in fashion than America.

Answer 1

I think it might be that we have many different countries, each with its own fashion industry and the schooling to train people for it. Lower levels as well as the highest.

There is enough fashion industry to soak up most of the people who have done the training on the different levels, but there is no job guaranty for whatever the level of study.
