Eligibility Requirements
If you are a high school student
High school students should apply to an associate's degree program (AAS). You may not apply directly to a bachelor's degree program (BS or BFA).
If you have an AAS from FIT
You may apply to an appropriate bachelor's degree program.
If you have credits or a degree from another college
For some majors, you may be considered for an accelerated one-year AAS degree program if you meet the following criteria by the time you enroll at FIT:
- You have a bachelor’s degree or 30 transferable credits from a regionally accredited college that satisfy FIT’s AAS liberal arts requirements and, for Art and Design applicants, a strong portfolio evaluation.
You may apply to a bachelor's degree program as a transfer student if you meet one of the following criteria by the time you enroll at FIT:
- You will have an associate’s or bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college in a program that is equivalent to FIT's associate's degree program in that area.
- 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 AAS 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.
