Minors
You love your major. But there’s so much more to learn. Minors help you discover a wider world of inspiration.
Minors are a major deal at FIT. By completing five courses in a particular discipline, you can take a minor that enhances your major studies or enables you to explore a field that interests you. Do it because companies prefer employees with a wide range of knowledge. Or because you want to be a more interesting person and a well-informed citizen of the world. Here are the many minors you can choose from.
Build Your Foundation
Expand your knowledge, understand the past, and think critically and flexibly.
Gain Valuable Perspective
Dive deep into a culture, gain a global perspective, and expand your own world.
Learn Tech Skills and New Ways of Thinking
Broaden your knowledge of new technologies, design, and influential ideas.
Communicate
Expression takes many forms. Speak, listen, and share your creativity in new ways through arts and languages.
Build Business and Marketing Skills
Whatever your major, business thinking can sharpen your perspective.

Our Work
A minor can inspire groundbreaking discoveries, or give you the chance to work with FIT faculty whose work defies categorization.
Tessa Callaghan, Gian Cui, and Aleksandra Gosiewski won the first Biodesign Challenge by knitted “yarn” made from algae and fungi into fabric.
Adjunct faculty member Marwa Helal published "Invasive species*" which combined poetry and prose to describe the hostility she encountered on her path to becoming a United States citizen.
