The Prince Program in Retail Management
Susan D. Sampson, Director

The Prince Program in Retail Management, established in 1905 by Lucinda Prince, has long been recognized as one of the country’s most prestigious undergraduate programs specifically geared toward preparing women for a career in all aspects of retailing.

Retailing represents one of the most dynamic and important segments of the US economy. Success in this industry greatly depends upon the retailer’s ability to adapt to changing demographics and lifestyles, to respond quickly and effectively to global competition, to utilize the available technology, and to apply sound marketing and financial management. The Prince Program is designed to equip its graduates with the academic foundation required to succeed in this environment.
