Tuition and Related Costs

  • Tuition for The Fashion School is the same as tuition to Kent State University and this varies by residency and by the number of credits being taken.
  • Other costs that must be considered for majors in Fashion Design:
    • Art and sewing supplies are needed; the initial investment is large but these items are retained and used throughout the program.
    • Fabric and other materials needed for the senior line are special budgetary considerations.
    • The internship costs need to be considered. Often (not always) the best internships are in a major metropolitan area such as New York and the cost of living there for a summer may be higher than living on campus. Keep in mind that internships may not pay at all or may pay very little.
    • Study tours to New York are provided every semester. Plan to budget for one of these during the four years here.
    • Study abroad in the junior year is particularly recommended so budgetary planning for this is needed.

  • Other costs that must be considered for majors in Fashion Merchandising:
    • Books are the major class costs on a semester basis.
    • Most internships are paid and many are available near the student's home, but if you want to be in a major metropolitan area then planning to cover the cost of living is important.
    • Study tours to New York are provided every semester. Plan to budget for one of these during the four years here.
    • Study abroad in the junior year is particularly recommended so budgetary planning for this is needed.
