In 1965, the college moved from its location in the Turtle Creek area of Dallas to within the Dallas Market Center complex, and in 1971, the professional modeling and evening classes were discontinued in favor of total emphasis on full-time enrollment in merchandising.
• Now the college offers a dual Associate of Arts degree in Merchandising and Design.

Students may specialize in graphic design, fashion design, interior design, merchandise marketing, or fashion/interior merchandising.
