INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS
In today's global business environment, international experience is increasingly important. You need greater international awareness, foreign language skills, and an understanding of different cultures. The inclusion of study abroad programs on your resume is an asset, and FIT's many offerings can prepare you to live and work in a global community.

United Kingdom, France, Italy, Hong Kong, Mexico, Canada, and Australia are some of the locations where FIT study abroad courses are offered. The wide range of specialized programs offered by the college, whether it's a short study course during the summer months or an entire semester overseas, provide you with the opportunity to broaden your design sensibilities, sharpen your business sense, and stimulate new ideas about career choices. The FIT Office of International Programs is available to help you explore these possibilities.


PLAN AHEAD
Start thinking about studying abroad early in your college career because it requires careful planning. If a study abroad course or program is not offered in your major, you may be able to apply credit toward related area courses, liberal arts electives, or free electives which you have not already fulfilled.

The Office of International Programs coordinates all international programs approved by the college and provides administrative and logistical support to faculty and students in study abroad programs. Through this office, students have the opportunity to study abroad with programs sponsored by the Fashion Institute of Technology or through one of the college's many exchange or consortium programs. With the prior approval of the academic department, FIT grants academic credit for work completed in these study abroad programs.

All study abroad programs are approved by the appropriate department, the divisional dean, the Curriculum Committee, the Academic Cabinet, the President and registered with the SUNY Office of International Programs.
 


OTHER OPPORTUNITIES
In addition to the programs discussed here, students have almost unlimited choice of international venues through the many other study abroad programs offered by the State University of New York. FIT is also a member of the College Consortium for International Studies. Students have the possibility of joining more than 90 programs offered through the Consortium's member institutions.
