Universidad Jannette Klein

What Universidad Jannette Klein does

Universidad Jannette Klein (legal entity: Jannette Klein Escuela de Diseño y Moda SC) is a private, SEP-accredited fashion higher education institution headquartered in the Del Valle neighborhood of Mexico City. Founded by Jannette Klein, the institution delivers undergraduate degrees (Licenciaturas) in Fashion Design and Advertising, Marketing and Advertising, and — as of November 2025 — Fashion Styling and Strategic Image Design, alongside one Master's degree and three Specializations in digital fashion diffusion, visual merchandising, and architectural interior design. All degree programs hold official RVOE incorporation from Mexico's Secretaría de Educación Pública.

Revenue is generated primarily through semester-based undergraduate tuition (~MX$20,900 enrollment fee plus five monthly payments of ~MX$20,588 per semester, totaling roughly MX$124,000 per semester per student), recurring postgraduate tuition, and an extensive continuing education catalog of more than 10 diploma programs (diplomados) and 15+ short courses (cursos/talleres) delivered on Saturdays. Additional streams include a Pre-College summer program, customized corporate training (Formación Empresarial) for brands such as Kerastase and Suburbia, and the MAKERS Magazine publication sold at retail. The go-to-market is sales-led: prospective undergraduates complete a proprietary two-phase evaluation (exam plus interview with the academic director), with acceptance letters followed by enrollment support including scholarship assignment.

The institution's technology stack centers on a Moodle-based Campus Virtual LMS for course delivery and the WGSN trend intelligence platform integrated into continuing education programs. International student exchange is operated via the Plan Bicultural program with Polimoda (Italy), UDITH (Spain), and Universidad de San Buenaventura (Colombia). The institution is ranked by CEO World Magazine as the best fashion university in Latin America and among the top 100 globally (2022 and 2025).
