The World of Textiles Awaits
It's a multibillion-dollar global industry that's integrated into everything we do — and you could drive the field's next big advancements.
Leading the Way in Textiles Education
Textiles are all around us: from the playing field to the runway, shielding first responders from danger or even shoring up a human heart. At the Wilson College of Textiles, we teach you to apply textiles thinking to the grand challenges facing our world.
By the time you leave here, you’ll know there are thousands of ways to use what you’ve learned in a career that you’ll love. And because ours is the only college on this continent solely focused on textiles, our graduates are among the most sought-out anywhere.
