Retail Management (Launching in Fall 2012) In the United States alone, employment in the retail trade sector is twenty-eight million strong. This translates to 16 percent of all jobs in the U.S. In 2009, this sector represented $1.2 trillion or 8.5 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product. Most retail sales still occur within brick and mortar stores. Competition is fierce. Restructuring is ongoing. Staying on top requires retail industry managers to be nimble, analytical and creative with regard to the challenging and ever-changing retail environment. FIT's certificate program in Retail Management, developed in partnership with the National Retail Federation, addresses general analytical and problem solving abilities as well as industry requirements and essential specifications to manage retail operations both here and abroad. In addition, a mastery of foundational skills in Microsoft Excel, retail merchandising, and management skills will be provided. The certificate is intended to develop the skills and abilities of professionals who are currently employed in mid-tier positions in retail management or who possess a baccalaureate degree in a discipline unrelated to Fashion Merchandising Management.
Applicants must have either: 1. A baccalaureate degree in an area other than Fashion Merchandising, or 2. Five or more years of executive retail experience (at the level of assistant manager or higher)
(This is consistent with eligibility to take the National Retail Federation Retail Management Certification Exam that will be included in this program.) The program is not intended for Fashion Merchandising Management graduates. Upon completion of the certificate, students will be able to: • Utilize Microsoft Excel to create spreadsheets and reports that convey critical data analysis in a concise and organized way. • Analyze key store operation functions including reporting structure, evaluation criteria, cross-functionality and cooperating departments with the emphasis on interdependence of activities within the team. • Calculate and benchmark a retailer’s performance metrics against major competitors and industry norms. • Develop strategies involving basic management functions and current technology to formulate and justify a plan that can be implemented to achieve a company’s goals. • Exhibit leadership skills and team skills required to successfully lead a management group. The certificate program consists of five courses and 14 credits: • MG153 Excel for Business • FM327 Case Studies in Fashion Merchandising • FM361 Leadership Development for Retailing • FM362 Dynamics of Store Operations Management • FM462 Retail Management Strategies To apply for the Retail Management certificate program, visit: fitnyc.edu/11862.asp.

61 U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations prohibit non-immigrants admitted in B-1/B-2 (Tourist) status from pursuing a course of study. The DHS has determined that individuals in B-1/B-2 status may enroll in noncredit-bearing classes that are short in duration and not part of a course of study as long as these courses are “incidental to their visit to the U.S.,” in other words, attending classes is not the primary reason for their visit to the United States. At FIT, students in B-1/B-2 status may register for courses offered by the Center for Professional Studies, the Enterprise Center, Executive Education, and the Center for Precollege Programs, provided the classes begin and end within the period of stay authorized by the immigration service.
For more information, visit fitnyc.edu/oisa. International students interested in applying for any degree program must file a State University of New York application. Application and admissions criteria are available on the FIT website, fitnyc.edu/admissions. International students must apply before January 1 for the fall semester and before October 1 for the spring semester. Refer to the FIT website for additional deadlines. Sufficient time must be allowed for the verification and evaluation of foreign credentials. A decision cannot be made until all components of the application are received by Admissions.
Veterans and Selective Service The college has been accorded recognition as a school of higher learning by the Veterans Administration. Prospective students should obtain their VA papers as far in advance of registration as possible. Those seeking readmission to the college from the armed forces who have been admitted to the college for a date of entry prior to formal separation should notify the Veterans Administration immediately following receipt of acceptance in order to facilitate processing of early separation procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between a matriculated student and a nonmatriculated student?
What is the difference between a credit course and a noncredit course? A credit course is officially registered with the State University of New York and administered by an academic school and department. Tests, assignments, and grades are provided by FIT faculty. Noncredit courses are short, intensive seminars or workshops administered by the School of Continuing and Professional Studies through its specialized centers. Each course is taught by an expert in the topic.
What is a certificate program? A certificate indicates that you’ve attained a high level of proficiency and professional training in a particular field. It’s a credential that demonstrates you’re able to meet the demands of the industry and the consumer. FIT offers both noncredit and credit certificate programs.
Is financial aid available to non-degree students?
Online courses are open to all current and repeat students and may be applied toward an FIT degree. For more information, contact the department at 212 217.4069 or visit fitnyc.edu/onlinelearning.
No. Only students admitted to FIT and enrolled in a fulltime or part-time degree-granting program are eligible for financial aid.
Do I need an FIT ID card? How do I get one? Do I have to complete both the Registration and the Enrollment/Re-enrollment Applications? Yes.
How much do classes cost? The cost of each course is listed in the course description. Tuition rates for credit courses vary based on whether the course is at the associate or baccalaureate level. Noncredit tuition rates are the same for New York and non-New York State residents.
Yes. FIT ID cards are required to enter campus buildings and must be clearly displayed at all times while you are on campus. If you do not have an ID card, enter through the Marvin Feldman Center lobby to obtain a visitor’s pass. Non credit students receive temporary ID cards from their instructor at the first session of their class. ID cards are available for credit students in the Photo ID Center in Room D404. Days and hours are posted each semester in the Registration Center, Room B103, and at the security desk in the Feldman Center lobby. You must bring your printed course schedule to obtain an ID card.
How do I prove I am a New York State resident? For students registering for credit courses, proof of residency must be supplied in order to qualify for New York State tuition rates. To prove New York State residency, submit any one of the following: apartment lease, home deed or rent registration form, budget/benefit letter from New York City Public Assistance, a benefit letter from Social Security, New York State or federal tax return (not W-2 form) OR your parent/guardian’s New York State or federal tax return (not W-2 form) if you are listed as a dependent on that form. Additionally, the Registration Center will also accept any two of the following forms of proof of New York State residency: NY State driver’s license or NY State identification card, homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policy, vehicle registration, utility bills or an employer photo ID that displays your home address. Verification must be dated at least one year prior to the first day of the semester.
Are noncredit courses graded? Students are assigned a final grade of P or F (Pass or Fail) for all noncredit courses.
How do I access my grades? For credit courses go to fitnyc.edu/onlinestudentinfo and enter your FIT network user name and password in the Secure Access Login section.
Where do I go for more information? For credit courses, visit the School of Continuing and Professional Studies in the lower level of the Conference Center at FIT, located on the southwest corner of Seventh Avenue and 28th Street. For noncredit courses, visit the Center for Professional Studies or the Enterprise Center in Room D130. To learn more about FIT, join us at one of our information sessions.
What are FIT’s matriculation guidelines for degree status? A minimum of 50 percent of the credits identified in any degree program as major area or related area credits must be taken while matriculated. No more than 30 credits taken at FIT in non-matriculated status may be applied toward a bachelor’s or two-year associate degree program. No more than 15 credits taken at FIT in non-matriculated status may be applied toward a one-year associate degree program.
Can I complete all degree requirements and then apply for admission? No. No more than 30 credits taken at FIT in non-degree status may be applied toward a degree. Also, a minimum of 50 percent of the credits identified in an FIT degree program as major and related credits must be taken while the student is in FIT degree status. For information on obtaining degree status, please see Admissions in the Details section of this catalogue.
PAYMENT= REGISTRATION Non-degree credit and noncredit students are required to pay all tuition and fees in full at the time of registration to ensure a seat in the course.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Matriculated students have been accepted into a degreegranting program and are taking courses toward that degree. Nonmatriculated students are not enrolled in any degreegranting program.
Are online courses open to all students?
