Study Away
Build a future in global fashion.
The School of Fashion at Kent State University offers seven unique study away/abroad locations to help you become a global fashion leader. Our school has partnerships with high-ranking universities and we offer our unique program in the heart of the Fashion district in NYC.
Currently the only fashion program in the U.S. to have made the Study Away/Abroad experience a key, compulsory part of the curriculum.
We have our own exclusive NYC campus and LA Study Tour.
We work in partnership with the Kent State Office of Global Education on our Florence, Paris, London, South Korea, and Hong Kong Programs.
The Study Away Application Process Timeline
Each year we have a dedicated day in September, Study Away Day, for current students, parents and loved ones to learn about our upcoming programs. After study away day the preapproval application will become available for any student who has at least a 2.5 GPA and is on track to finish their 20000 level classes.
In January, students will be notified if they have been accepted into the program(s) they desire. The student must then complete a commitment contract for the program they wish to pursue. They may choose more than one. A School of Fashion deposit is required for all NYC, Florence, and Paris, LA Study Tour programs. The students will work with the School of Fashion and the Office of Global Education to complete the requirements to attend the program they choose.
