Abstract
The study assessed the impact of excellence concepts on fashion students in Ghanaian higher education. In the last decade, the
debate in the international arena on Higher Education (HE) quality has increasingly shifted from ‘quality’ to ‘excellence’. HE
systems all over the world have undergone massive expansion, and this has created problems in maintaining excellence. Fashion
is a big deal as it goes beyond simple clothing to the expression of identity. It is a reflection of our society. The study is an
exploratory and descriptive case study that employed a mixed methods approach to data collection and analysis. A cluster
sampling method was adopted to obtain a representative sample for the study. The study examined the opinions of fashion
students from HE. Findings confirm that excellence teaching is a component of excellence in HE. It is recommended that for
better performance, after accumulated experience and practice by any HE institution, accreditation agencies must necessarily
review and adjust the existing approaches used.
