NOTE:  Students must have taken the following courses prior to entering the program:  AC 114 and SS 141.

If you are a high school student

You may not apply directly to the bachelor's degree program. High school students should apply to a two-year Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree program and after completing that degree apply to the two-year bachelor's program. 

If you have an AAS from FIT 

You may apply to the bachelor's degree program. 

If you have credits or a degree from another college 

You may apply to the two-year Direct and Interactive Marketing BS program as a transfer student if you meet one of the following criteria by the time you enroll at FIT:

  • you will have an associates or bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college in a program that is equivalent to any FIT AAS program or in liberal arts. (This is a guideline; graduates in other areas may also be considered.) 
  • you will have earned at least 60 credits toward a bachelor's degree in an equivalent or related program at a regionally accredited college.

A college program is equivalent if it contains the same major area and liberal arts distribution as in FIT AAS programs. Applicants from college programs that are not equivalent must apply to the AAS program.
Please note that FIT AAS students receive priority admissions consideration.
