Overview

Located steps from the Chelsea galleries and not far from many top arts and cultural institutions, Fashion Institute of Technology SUNY draws on New York City’s resources to immerse students in an unparalleled intellectual and artistic experience.

You’ll gain proficiency in a range of disciplines — painting, drawing, printmaking, and sculpture — and explore 3D design and multimedia. You will graduate with the skills to pursue a career in the applied arts or as a practicing artist.

Key Features

This program provides a rich foundation in the fine arts. You’ll study figurative and abstract painting, basic and life drawing, sculpture, printmaking, and 2D and 3D design. Once you have your AAS, you can go on to apply for a BFA in Fine Arts. You are also eligible to apply to the Animation, Interactive Media & Game Design, Textile/Surface Design, and Toy Design BFA programs.

The BFA builds on your skills and pushes you to explore a range of creative possibilities, from traditional media to 3D design and multimedia. You will be challenged to develop conceptually mature work that expresses an individual, identifiable voice.

And you’ll have the resources to do so in the first-class studios and print shop. In the final semester, you will participate in a required internship in an art-related setting and complete a senior thesis project in sculpture or painting.

Careers

Students have interned at the Museum of Modern Art, Hispanic Society of America, National Academy Museum, and facilities such as professional printmaking studios and art restoration companies.

You’ll graduate with the skills to pursue a career in the applied arts or as a practicing artist. Some graduates work in art-related professions in museums, galleries, and arts organizations, while others go on to graduate study for studio practice, art therapy, or art education.
