Home Products Development at FIT

The two-year program, leading to the Bachelor of Science degree, gives students a solid background in product knowledge, the design and development processes, and manufacturing, merchandising, and marketing strategies specific to the home products industry. Students study both the hard lines (furnishings and accessories) and soft lines (textiles). Courses in the liberal arts supplement—and complement—their career preparation.

The comprehensive curriculum, designed with input from professionals in the home furnishings industry, also provides students with strategic marketing knowledge, global awareness, computer skills, presentation and interpersonal skills, work experience through a required internship.
