This is the national list of colleges that report a fashion merchandising, retail, or apparel marketing program to the U.S. Department of Education — organized by state, with each school’s city and the average net price students actually pay after grants. Merchandising is the accessible side of fashion education: it’s taught in far more places than studio design, often at community-college prices. Every state name links to that state’s full comparison table. Data updated July 2026.
