The program consists of six sequential courses in Millinery Techniques which are currently offered over a four-semester time span. Projects range from fundamental to more advanced skills and processes in millinery techniques.

Upon successful completion of the program students will receive a Certificate of Competency in Millinery Techniques. This will enable them to seek employment in the headwear industry. Students will be able to:

1. Identify properties of fabrics, leathers, furs and fake fur materials, linings and support
   materials to enable them to construct different varieties of hats; 
2. Demonstrate both hand and machine sewing techniques used in the construction of different hats; 
3. Understand how to use different types of blocks in the construction of hats; 
4. Develop a sparterie; and
