FIT Pre-College programs for Sophs & Juniors

FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology) has some really awesome summer programs that aren't very costly for high school students. These courses offer you a chance to gain college credits, learn more about FIT, or just to try your hand at a new fun activity (intro to fashion design, tv & viral video ads, screenprinting t-shirts, sneakerology, WHAT?!)!
  
High School Summer Live: Held over 12 weekdays   
     These courses are similar to our Saturday and Sunday Live Program, but Summer Live courses run for three weeks in July, meeting every Monday through Thursday (12 days). Courses are taught by FIT professionals who can provide insight into their industries, the admissions process, or just show you how to enjoy the fields they love. 
     Join over 2,000 students from across the globe as they socialize with like-minded, creative students while preparing for college. The classes are great, but the friendships are better! Program Dates and Details
