Online Learning
FIT offers more than 800 online course sections per year, enabling students with busy schedules to do their coursework online any time of the day. In addition, FIT also offers fully online associate degrees in Fashion Business Management, Communication Design Foundation, and Advertising and Marketing Communications, as well as the bachelor’s degree in International Trade and Marketing for the Fashion and Design Industries. Online courses have the letters "OL" next to them in the course listings.
Online learning at FIT is both interactive and collaborative. Students receive instruction, submit assignments, and actively participate in discussions from anywhere with an internet connection. Students leverage the wealth of resources available through the web to support their education.
If you opt to take an online course, you will access your course through Blackboard. Online courses are not for everyone and work best for independent learners who communicate comfortably through reading and writing. You may be expected to participate in online discussions with your class several times per week. Online courses are open to both degree and nondegree students, as well as international students.
FIT also offers more than 50 blended course sections per year. These are courses that are half online and half face-to-face. Blended courses have the letters "BL" next to them in the course listings.
