*Applicants to this program may be required to provide a competitive portfolio.

Transfer applicants are eligible to apply to the Graphic Design BFA program if they have an Associate or Bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college in a program that is precisely equivalent to FIT's Communication Design AAS program, or if they will have earned at least 60 credits toward a Bachelor's degree at a regionally accredited college in a program that is precisely equivalent to FIT's Communication Design AAS program before enrollment at FIT.

A college program is precisely equivalent if it contains the same major, related-area, and liberal arts distribution as the FIT Communication Design AAS program.
