Are Fashion programs rated? How to compare?

<p>So my daughter (rising HS junior) just completed a 1 week session at SCAD and now, of course, wants to study Fashion. Fashion what? Fashion design? Fashion merchandising? I'm not entirely sure.</p>

<p>My wife and I are both technical and can easily research and evaluate engineering or science programs at colleges, but we are totally out of our element with respect to Fashion. I am, of course, concerned about her career prospects and really want to make sure that if she goes down this road she attends a decent school with decent prospects for a job upon graduation.</p>

<p>Are there any objective (or even subjective) ratings or assessments of programs? I know there are programs at SVA, Pratt, FIT etc but can find only individual opinions of their quality and career-making success.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
