<p>I have a friend whose daughter is graduating from UVA. She wants to go to graduate school in fashion design or costume design. What schools have an MFA in Fashion or Costume Design? </p>

<p>I should note that I have already told them about Parsons and Pratt Institute and Otis College of Design. They also want an accredited university. I was thinking of RISD,but they don't seem to have a graduate program.</p>

<p>Thanks for your help.</p>

<p>UVA also has an MFA in costume design that she might consider.</p>

<p>Here's another link that lists many costume design programs with notation if they offer an MFA</p>

<p>Sorry, forgot to mention Syracuse University. They have a very strong program (undergrad and grad levels) in Fashion Design and Textile Design:
