Fashion Design Schools: Every Program by State (2026)

This is the national list of colleges that report a fashion design, apparel design, or textiles 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. Design programs are rarer than merchandising ones: most states have only a handful, and a few have none at all. Every state name links to the full comparison table for that state, including tuition, enrollment, and merchandising options. Data updated July 2026.
