Noncredit Study at FIT
We know you're busy. That's why FIT's Center for Continuing and Professional Studies has noncredit certificates and courses that will fit your demanding schedule. Our noncredit programs are unique offerings that focus on a specific area or skill set not traditionally offered in a formal degree program.

Noncredit Courses
These are short intensive courses, typically between 1-8 sessions per course, and are graded on a pass/fail basis. These courses do not carry college credits; they cannot be transferred to another college or counted towards a degree program at FIT.
