Fashion Institute of Technology在1944年成立，常简称FIT，可译为纽约时装设计学院(不过字面上的Technology就不译了)，是一所纽约州的公立学校。
FIT属SUNY系统﹙State University of New York﹚，全校约有10853位学生，其中女生占大多数(81%)；亚洲学生占百分之19，师生比1:13，该校的大学部热门科系有市场与流行相关专业Marketing/fashion/related industries，流行设计(服装设计Fashion Design)以及广告设计Advertising design。
FIT位于纽约市二十七街，没有校园，有九栋学校建筑﹙包括了FIT织品与配件博物馆﹚，大学部提供了多种课程，并有许多短期的证书课程，但是硕士课程较少，此外，也规划有海外的国际学程，是一所名符其实教育多元化的学院，该校出过非常多在服装界顶顶有名，众所皆知的设计大师，因此也吸引学生为了学习服装设计而来到这个学校，由于FIT没有提供MFA，因此没有被USNEWS列入排名，但是FIT提供的硕士课程相当独特，有兴趣的人不要错过喔!!

[+]与念exhibition design的网友JAY 对谈2008.12.02
1. 可以简单介绍FIT您念的科系Exhibition Design有什么特色吗?
FIT’s Master of Arts program in Exhibition Design integrates everything from interior design to architecture, lighting to graphic design, industrial design to exhibit production. It is a field in which a deep understanding of audience, storytelling, and the psychology of space are essential for success. Our students are multifaceted designers whose artistry and technical skills shape the spaces of museums, expos, public and retail spaces, and more. The program features a multidisciplinary design curriculum including studies in exhibition design, lighting, graphics and model making, complemented by critical thinking, conceptual development and research skills comprising a final thesis project. Strongly rooted within the exhibition design industry, the program works actively with institutions and organizations representative of all areas of the profession including corporate, museum and public venues.
2. 请问FIT的上课环境如何? 注册选课方便吗?
Our campuses are clean and comfortable. There are also many international students in FIT, so you will learn different thinking, design process, culture, et cetera from different countries. We have computer lab (There are both PC and MAC), library, cafeteria, gym, and all kinds of facilities. FIT students can use our online information system for registration, or they can also go to registration office located in 1st floor, B building. It’s quite convenient in my experience.
3. 请问您在申请FIT时曾遇过什么问题吗? 有没有心得跟学弟妹分享?
Basically, you almost can do most of application processes on internet. I just have a suggestion about that. Whenever you have any question, call them directly to ask. If you want to wait for their email reply, that could be a while. (It’s not just a while actually.) Besides, your application processes very depend on your department requirement, but I think the portfolio and S.O.P. are the most important things that you have to work very hard on them.
4. 请问FIT的学费和生活费大约多少呢?
The list below is our current tuition for each level:
Associate-level out-of-state residents: $1707.00/ semester
Baccalaureate-level out-of-state residents: $5570.00/ semester
Graduate-level out-of-state residents: $5733.00/ semester
Be aware that some departments require students to register for winter and summer semester. Although the tuition is much less than fall and spring semester, it is still an additional cost. You also need to plan for other expenses like fees, housing, books, and supplies.
These are just my personal experience for your information.
Housing: 500~1000/month (it very depends…)
Transportation: 81/month (if you choose not to live in our dorm.)
Others: 500~800/month
5. 请问FIT的台湾同学多吗? 有没有台湾同学会?
We just have a few Taiwanese students around ten now. Unfortunately, we don’t have Taiwanese student association here. However, all of us are very nice and friendly :-). We always help each other and keep in touch.
6. 请问FIT的校园安全如何?
It is safe and secure around the Chelsea neighborhoods. FIT occupies a whole city block – 27th street between 7th and 8th avenues in Manhattan. Our institute also has the security policy. You have to present your ID to a security to go into a building.
7. 请问FIT校园中的艺术与设计活动多吗?
We have many design and art events, movies, exhibitions, and workshops in our campus, such as Fashion week, student portfolio exhibition, seminar, et cetera. FIT also encourage students to take advantage of everything New York City has to offer as one of the cultural, arts, and design centers of the world. A great deal of museums, galleries, and fantastic events are just several blocks away. Besides, FIT students can also visit MOMA (The museum of Modern Art) anytime for free.
8. 请问您认为FIT在师资评价好吗? 它们的课程规划如何?
It’s quite good in my experience. Take our program for example. A diverse faculty of working professionals brings real world experience and the latest developments in the field to the classroom. In addition to that, they also focus on academics achievement in the form of research, writing, critical thinking and analytical thinking skill development. FIT also evaluate their faculty every year by association researches and student surveys.
9. 请问您认为FIT的毕业生找工作容易吗? 老师或学校有资源帮您吗?
FIT Internship Center is available to assist students and alumni in all aspects of their career development from career assessment to job search skills and strategies. Counselors work with industry on career opportunities for full-time, part-time, freelance positions and summer employment.
During the fall semester, a job fair is held where employers recruit for part-time and full-time positions. In the spring, a large On-Campus Recruitment program takes place where many companies recruit for their personnel needs. In additions, throughout the year, employers are invited on campus to interview students and graduates to meet immediate hiring needs.
Our professors and institute resource provide a lot of information and opportunities for us. Now I am working in the design firm where I did my internship before.

[+]网友讨论
1. 2005Fal年申请珠宝设计到的网友养乐多。
2. 2005.03 Enid说：FIT在tw似乎是没有台湾同学会的,至少我找了很久都没有…/_\ 再者,我知道在tw蛮多是去FIT念AAS回来的,不过他们的背景我并不清楚,只是听说目前业界有些人是那边回来,但仅学士或AAS…我是很想知道有没有人是申请MASTER的…if有,请出个声吧!!thanx
4. 2004年12月sky2ny说：FIT的申请流程是→先填application的表格跟他要求的essay(题目是为什麻想念FIT跟介绍你自己)寄到学校..之后他会回一封信给你..告诉你妳所需要的所有作品集设计图推荐信之类的..一定要按照流程..你说的术科考试我倒是没听说过..面试倒是有可能..不过我朋友他之前在台湾申请也没有面试..只是按照程序做而已..大概就这样噜..
5. 2004年12月Jewerly Lady说：我朋友几年前念过这个program- Accessory Design, 他是说任何妳自己diy做的作品都可以放在妳的作品集里面, 不是非要妳做很让人称赞的完整的作品, 妳也可以用些现成的包包, 然后加入妳自己的idea去重新改造一翻, 让学校方面知道妳能做到什么样的程度, 重点是妳有没有够creative! 因为妳就是不知道怎么做才要去学校学的呀～FIT不会这么picky. 用皮革去做其它的东西也可以阿, 可以做个手机套或是笔套阿, 简单一点的东西! 就用薄一点的皮, 用针缝或是用胶黏, 学校会看妳有了idea后, 怎么去运用材料做东西. 用皮革做手环也可以阿, 在牛仔裤上加个皮革, 在皮革上缝上水钻也可以阿.再来就是"Drawing test is given at the time of evaluation"这句话, 我想妳人不在美国的话, 应该可以问问学校是否有别方法可以取代. 以前我朋友是在申请后, 学校规定要在期限内交出一些指定的小project, 做完再寄去学校.希望这些对妳有帮助.
6. 2005年9月小雅问：FIT的AAS一年制跟两年制的不同在哪? 我看网页上是写说念一年制的条件必须要有4年大学毕业的学历,还有必须要相关领域里有工作的经验…但是他最后有一段话不是很明白他的意思,麻烦版上厉害的人解释给我听一下You do not need to apply for the one-year program. The Admissions Committee will automatically place you in the one-year program if you are found eligible on the basis of the above criteria. 还有,我没有看到他对TOEFL的要求,想请问有人知道须要考几分吗? 谢谢
7. 2005年9月millie回：就是你不用另外申请一年制,如果审查委员会认为你的作品和资历水准够,他们会自动把你放到一年制去.–millie
