Wood TobĂ©âCoburn School was a private for-profit career college in New York City. It closed in 2017.
The TobĂ©âCoburn School for Fashion Careers was established in New York City by Miss TobĂ©, (nĂ©e TobĂ© Coller Davis) an internationally known fashion authority, and Julia Coburn, former fashion editor of the Ladies Home Journal and president of the Fashion Group (later the Fashion Group International, Inc.). [1] TobĂ© Coller Davis' establishment of the Tobe Report (a weekly fashion consulting report for retailers) in 1927, and the founding of the TobĂ©âCoburn School in 1937, were seminal events marking the rising significance of the New York City fashion industry. [2] The school opened on September 13, 1937, and drew mostly young women students from across the United States. In June, 1992, the TobĂ©âCoburn School was merged into the Wood School; the latter founded in 1879. The change of the name from TobĂ©âCoburn School to the Wood TobĂ©âCoburn School occurred in June, 1993. [3]
The Wood TobĂ©âCoburn School awarded both diplomas and associate degrees. The school grouped its ten major areas of study into three main categories: business/fashion, health care, and technology.
