Admission Guide
You can apply to Felbry College through their online application system with a rolling admissions policy that accepts applications year-round. Submit your high school transcript, personal statement, and application fee to complete your file.
The fashion design and fashion merchandising programs attract most students to this specialized college, and these programs maintain higher admission standards than the overall school statistics suggest. Your portfolio becomes the deciding factor for fashion design admission, so prepare 10-15 pieces that show your range and technical skills. Fashion merchandising requires strong math grades since the curriculum focuses heavily on retail analytics and business fundamentals.
Housing is not available on campus since Felbry operates as a commuter school in downtown Columbus. You'll need to arrange your own housing in the surrounding area or commute from home. The college provides parking but spaces fill quickly during peak hours.
New student orientation happens the week before classes begin and covers degree requirements, software training for design programs, and connections to internship opportunities in the Columbus fashion industry. You'll receive access to the college's industry partnerships during orientation, which include local boutiques and regional fashion companies.
Financial aid counseling is mandatory for all students given the program costs. Schedule this meeting during your first semester to understand your payment options and potential industry scholarships available through the college's connections.
Class sizes stay small with most courses capped at 15 students, so you'll work closely with faculty who maintain active connections in the fashion industry. Studio space is available extended hours for design students working on projects.
