completing that degree, apply to the two-year bachelor's program.

You may apply to the bachelor's degree program. The Fabric Styling BFA is a professional
art degree related to Textile Design.
If the interested AAS student from FIT is not an Art and Design AAS graduate, in order
to be eligible for consideration, the applicant must complete an additional 30 credits
in art and design coursework, including: 6 credits of art/design history and 24 credits
that include coursework in drawing, digital drawing in Adobe Creative Suite or Illustrator,
and a combination of design-focused courses for professional artists.

You may apply to the two-year BFA program in Fabric Styling as a transfer student
