Exploring Boundless Possibilities: Vice President Tardis Johnson Presents FIT’s Expansive Opportunities image

Exploring Boundless Possibilities: Vice President Tardis Johnson Presents FIT’s Expansive Opportunities In a recent seminar, Vice President for Enrollment Management and Student Success Tardis Johnson led an engaging and insightful discussion about the diverse academic and career opportunities available to students at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). The talk emphasized one central message: FIT is much more than just Fashion Design and Fashion Business Management. SUNY Korea FIT students can continue their studies after earning an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree in either Fashion Business Management (FBM) or Fashion Design (FD) by applying to FIT programs in New York or Italy. While FBM and FD remain foundational majors, students have the opportunity to explore a wide range of degree programs, from jewelry design and menswear to material design and fashion styling, reflecting the dynamic nature of the fashion and creative industries. “Students often enter FIT thinking about only one or two pathways,” he noted, “but there is so much more to explore such as textile design, marketing, journalism, fashion forecasting, and even social media strategy.” Among the many opportunities discussed were: Art History and Museum Professions: ideal for those interested in the business and curation side of art. Entrepreneurship: for students aspiring to launch their own businesses or fashion brands. Home Products Development: a multibillion-dollar industry focused on the creation of essential items used in homes, distinct from interior design. International Trade and Transportation: a key area within Fashion Business Management that focuses on logistics and the global movement of fashion goods. Textile Development and Marketing: crucial for understanding the fabrics and materials that designers rely on in their work. Vice President Johnson emphasized that students have the freedom and support to pursue whichever path aligns with their interests. However, he encouraged everyone to be proactive: “It’s important to do your research and talk to faculty members, many of whom come directly from the industry and can offer unique insights.” He also explained the process for students considering a change or continuation of their studies at the upper division level. After applying for graduation from an associate program, students can explore a wide variety of bachelor’s degree options at FIT. Some programs may require additional coursework or prerequisites, so planning ahead is essential. These requirements are subject to change, so please refer to the official website for the most up-to-date information: https://www.fitnyc.edu/academics/academic-divisions/index.php. Programs requiring additional coursework include: Advertising and Marketing Communications (AMC) Advertising and Digital Design Animation, Interactive Media & Game Design Direct and Interactive Marketing Film and Media Fine Arts Footwear and Accessories Design Illustration Interior Design Packaging Design Photography and Related Media Product Management Spatial Experience Design Technical Design Toy Design Art History and Museum Professions The seminar concluded with a call to action: students are encouraged to explore the full list of undergraduate programs on the FIT website, speak with professors and advisors, and consider new and emerging industries that align with their passions and strengths.
