FIT Creative Nexus
Progress rarely runs in a straight line. Neither does our approach to preparing students for a demanding creative economy. Skills...relationships...knowledge...drive...they all intersect at the Creative Nexus that is FIT.
It's a powerful network where artists collaborate with executives, faculty influence business, and the working world informs the classroom. It's where academic and professional partnerships form around new ideas that spark change. It's where students design and produce and learn and connect. And our New York City location enables the coolest collaborations: museums, libraries, zoos, universities, hospitals, and media organizations are just some of our partners.
The Creative Nexus is a virtuous circle of alumni, industry, students, and faculty exploring and growing and challenging the status quo. Are you ready?
A Unique Community Focused on the Future
What makes FIT unlike any other community? A dedicated faculty with a blend of industry expertise and academic credentials. Alumni with an uncommon approach to their careers. Industry connections that create amazing opportunities—like competitions that give students professional-level experience before graduation. And so much more! See our Points of Distinction below for the big picture.
The Power of the Network
The Creative Nexus is FIT's fuel. It's behind everything we do, from The Museum at FIT's engaging exhibitions to Hue magazine's vibrant stories to the FIT Foundation's vital partnerships that support it all.
Leading the Leaders
FIT is a catalyst for people who shape the creative economy. Our alumni, faculty, and industry partners break ground, spark change, and make things happen.

Where Values Meet Vision
When it comes to living your values, let's be honest — it's not always easy. But faculty and students are committed to FIT's core strategic priorities of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; Innovation; and Sustainability, and promote them through inspiring research and projects.
