Brown has a dual degree program with RISD where you take classes at both schools and end up with two degree’s; one from Brown and one from RISD. I think you have to do arts at both though I might be mistaken. You also have to apply seperatly to both and get accepted seperately in order to be considered into the 5 year program. Brown is mainly fine arts but I do know that RISD has apparel design which may lead you to a better path into costume design. As long as you learn the basics of sewing and construction, as you get more advanced into the course you can lean more advanced techniques about pattermaking, draping, and construction that will lead you to experiment into aspects of costume design. You might want to talk to a student in the program or ask the school itself about the program to clairfy.

EDIT- actually, you don’t have to major in arts at both schools. You can do say, math at Brown and then painting at RISD.
