Eligibility
If you are a high school student
High school students should apply to the two-year Associate in Applied Science (AAS)
program. You may not apply directly to the Bachelor of Science program. On completing
the AAS, many students choose to apply to the two-year BS program.
If you have an AAS from FIT
You may apply to the Bachelor of Science (BS) program if you have an AAS in Textile
Development and Marketing or in Fashion Merchandising Management, Production Management,
Fashion Design, or other such major. High school students may not apply directly to
the bachelor's degree program; they should apply to the two-year AAS program, and
after completing that degree apply to the two-year BS program.
If you have credits or a degree from another college
You may apply to the two-year Textile Development and Marketing BS program as a transfer
student if you meet one of the following criteria by the time you enroll at FIT:
- you will have an associates or bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college in a program that is equivalent to the FIT AAS program
- you will have earned at least 60 credits toward a bachelor's degree in an equivalent program at a regionally accredited college.
A college program is equivalent if it contains the same major area and liberal arts distribution as the FIT Textile Development and Marketing BS program. Applicants from college programs that are not equivalent must apply to the AAS program.
Please note that FIT AAS students receive priority admissions consideration.
