Cost Overview

Most families pay between $35,000 and $40,000 annually depending on income, despite the $52,506 sticker price. Low-income families ($0-30K) pay $34,976 while high earners ($110K+) pay $40,413. Over four years, expect total costs between $140,000 and $161,000.

Fashion business programs command premium pricing in Manhattan's competitive market. The typical graduate leaves with $24,000 in debt, translating to $254 monthly payments. Starting salaries of $37,638 mean loan payments consume about 8% of gross income initially. Within five years, median earnings jump to $60,892, making debt more manageable.

Only 18% of students receive institutional grants averaging $11,409. The best deal goes to lower-income students who qualify for federal aid, as the net price difference between income brackets stays relatively narrow at just $5,437.
