If you do not hold this degree and still wish to apply, please schedule an appointment with the department chairperson to discuss your options.

Applicants to this program will be expected to provide a competitive portfolio.

Please note: AAS degree programs from other institutions are not eligible for the professional-status CIDA accreditation, and as a result, students holding such degrees are not eligible to apply to the FIT Interior Design BFA program.
