INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS:
FIT welcomes international students in its Precollege Programs, but please note that
housing is not provided with our programs. FIT offers several noncredit Precollege
Program courses appropriate for international students who wish to engage in a short
course of study while visiting the United States for tourism, either on a B-2 tourist
visa or as part of the visa waiver program. Federal immigration requirements limit
visitors to the United States to a course of study that meets less than 18 hours per
week.
