The Honors Program of the Fashion Institute of Technology, SUNY
The mission of the Presidential Scholars Program is to provide honors students with
an enriched learning environment in the liberal arts.
The program challenges honors students intellectually through rigorous liberal arts
courses and shared scholarly extracurricular experiences. Our goal is for our students
to be active participants in their own intellectual development. With a diverse student
body from majors across the college, the Presidential Scholars Program fosters a cohesive
community of scholars who become leaders on campus and in their fields. Our program
seeks to take advantage of our location in New York City, using it to enrich our classrooms
and expand students’ horizons.
Are you intellectually curious? Looking for ways to take advantage of New York City as an extended campus? Eager to network with students from other majors? Then broaden your horizons with the Presidential Scholars Program, the honors program at FIT.
