Fashion Institute of Technology

FIT's urban campus is located in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan on 27th Street from Seventh Avenue to Eighth Avenue —where the worlds of fashion, art, design, communications, and marketing converge.


The Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) is a State University of New York college of art and design located in New York City, New York, United States. It was founded in 1944. In 1951, it became one of the first SUNY community colleges empowered to grant the Associate of Applied Science degree. Today, FIT also grants Bachelor's and Master's degrees in fashion and related fields. These include some unique programs, such as the United States' only degree-granting program in Accessories Design, and the only baccalaureate program in Cosmetics and Fragrance Marketing in the world. The current president is Dr. Joyce F. Brown
