Fashion Institute of Technology Program

The Apparel Design and Apparel Merchandising specializations offer exciting opportunities for students to earn an associate arts degree by participating in a one-year liaison program with the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York City.

FIT is a specialized college of art, design, business, and technology devoted to preparing students for careers in fashion and related professions. Accredited with the state of New York, FIT allows visiting SPU students to be enrolled full time at Seattle Pacific University, and — if in good academic standing — to earn both an associate of arts degree from FIT and a bachelor of arts degree from SPU by double counting coursework.

FIT offers the following one-year programs in which SPU students or graduates can participate:  Fashion Business Management, Fashion Design, Communication Design Foundation, and Textile Development and Marketing

If you are considering this option, speak with your academic counselor and faculty advisor early in your academic career in order to meet the requirements of both FIT and SPU.
