These requirements are built into the FIT curriculum and in conjunction with major and related area courses in a degree program. An FIT General Education course cannot be used to meet more than one General Education area.
All two-year AAS degree students must complete a total of at least 24 General Education/Liberal Arts credits. Some majors require specific courses within these general requirements. Please refer to the specific major page, in the Degree Programs section of this catalog, for more information.
At the AAS level, a second English course is required for all majors. English courses cover a wide variety of General Education areas.
All FIT students, including transfers, are required to complete a total of 30 SUNY General Education/Liberal Arts credits (10 courses) in a minimum of 7 of the 10 areas in order to receive a bachelor’s degree. This General Education structure is effective for FIT students entering AAS programs in fall 2024 and for those entering BS/BFA programs in fall 2026.
To complete these requirements for a bachelor's degree, students must take 30 credits of General Education approved courses. The general guidelines are as follows, however, please refer to the specific major page, in the Degree Programs section of this catalog, for more information.

While the Registrar’s Office and the Academic Advisement Center monitor each student’s progress in the fulfillment of SUNY and FIT's General Education requirements, final responsibility for completing the requirements rests with the student.
