ONLINE LEARNING

With a holistic focus on academics, research, student activities, and career planning, we are able to deliver a true FIDM experience online for our students almost anywhere in the world. Our online curriculum features demonstrations, discussion groups, Zoom presentations, and sharing of student work. We also continue to offer unique classroom-based projects with mentorship from our Industry Partners, as we develop new and innovative ways to teach online.

Resources from the Library to Student Activities and Career Planning are all available online. Our faculty, staff, and student activities team are planning activities and events weekly to ensure a dynamic student experience from home, including Zoom meetings for all clubs, alumni speakers, presentations from art historians, and workshops such as virtual styling. Our Career Advisors all have Zoom accounts so they are able to work with students and employers more personally and effectively.

We know that supporting our students as they navigate online courses is key, so all faculty are available for remote office hours to answer questions, in writing or via video conferencing as requested by their students, and the IDEA Center offers remote tutoring.

FIDM offers educational opportunities through distance education. Colleges offering the opportunity to take classes outside of their state must be authorized, or exempt from authorization for each state in which they offer those courses. No assumptions of availability should be made on the part of the student until checking with FIDM's Admissions or Student Success Departments.
