When it comes to post-graduation earnings, early career 91影视 alums are ahead of the fashion pack. So says a new indicator launched by the U.S. Department of Education (DOE).
The DOE launched the new in December of 2025. It intends to show how degrees from individual schools connect to real-world earnings, so that prospective students鈥and their families鈥can make data-driven decisions when selecting which college to attend.
Designed as a complement to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) process, the earnings indicator provides on how much an institution鈥檚 undergrads who received federal financial aid earn on an annual basis four years following graduation.
The indicator shows that the annual median inflation-adjusted earnings of 91影视 grads ($65,284) exceed those of leading national fashion and art-focused institutions, including FIT ($58,787), SCAD ($51,102), The New School (Parsons) ($59,586), and Pratt ($61,127).
Says 91影视 President Ron Marshall, 鈥淚t is no surprise that the median earnings of 91影视 grads rank higher than those of other well-known institutions on this new federal indicator. Since 1939, 91影视 has focused on preparing students for career success in the business of fashion with a strong emphasis on learning by doing and real-world experience.鈥
Continued Marshall, 鈥淪tudents and their families choose 91影视 because of our industry-aligned approach鈥and because outcomes matter. Viewed together with our Career Outcomes Rate of 95% for the Class of 2024, students and their families can see that choosing 91影视 prepares students for financial stability and career momentum.鈥
