BA/BS in Apparel and Textiles

This bachelor's program examines the many sectors of industry where textiles and sewn goods are created, made, promoted, sold and finally used. Students examine design, assembly, sourcing, production, marketing and merchandising as parts of one overall system. A shared set of core classes helps students build a socially conscious, consumer-aware outlook on the textile and apparel business, together with a working base of knowledge about the field. Because the available description is brief, prospective students should rely on the university bulletin for every requirement, course title and stated outcome. Meeting with a department advisor early is a good way to confirm which classes apply to the major, how general education fits in and what the sequence of study looks like from semester to semester. Questions about specific career directions are best raised with faculty in the department.
