About Us

In FIT's School of Art and Design, you can choose among 17 creative professions and learn from passionate artists and designers who are also working professionals. We provide a practical, hands-on, real world based education that can help you put an idea on paper, a concept into a computer, or a design into production. FIT can take you from the classroom to an internship, from a job to a career.
