Fashion Design and Fashion Business Management are two of the most well-known programs at FIT, with industry connections that can give students an edge in the highly competitive fashion world. The school's location in New York City, a global fashion hub, makes it a particularly exciting place to study these areas.
Unique to FIT is the Toy Design program, which is one of the few of its kind in the world. The program prepares students to work in the toy industry and covers a broad curriculum, including design, materials, safety, and marketing.
Bear in mind that each program may have prerequisites and/or a competitive application process. You'll want to thoroughly review the requirements for each program on the FIT website or speak with an FIT admissions representative to ensure you meet all the qualifications before you apply.
Remember also that the strength of a FIT education doesn't just lie in the programs themselves, but also in its access to New York City's vibrant cultural and creative scenes, and the industry connections you can make during your time there.
