FIDM students currently enrolled in business or design programs
If you're currently enrolled in a business or design degree program you are invited to transfer to any ASU degree program. The most similar business and design degrees are offered in ASU’s W. P. Carey School of Business, the Thunderbird School of Global Management, and the Design School within the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts.
Understanding tuition and fees
To help make the transfer process as seamless as possible, ASU will ensure that all current FIDM students who continue at ASU FIDM will pay no more than the total amount they paid in tuition and fees at FIDM in the 2022–2023 academic year.
Because the total cost of attendance is dependent on each student’s individual circumstances, all FIDM students will receive individual advisement regarding their cost of attendance during the transfer process.
