We’re known for our rigorous, unique, and adaptable academic programming, experiential learning opportunities, academic and industry partnerships, and commitment to research, innovation, and entrepreneurship.

Together we strive to develop innovative design and strategic business solutions that will upend the status quo, create personal and professional opportunity, and have a lasting and sustainable global impact.

Does the price of tuition change based on the major?
Fashion Institute of Technology
Some majors may have additional materials needed for various assignments but the tuition rate remains the same. FIT is part of the State University of New York (SUNY) so there is both an in-state and out-of-state tuition rate. Additionally, FIT has a 2+2 structure so there is one tuition rate for the associate level study during the first two years and a different tuition rate for the bachelor's level of study during the last two years.
