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.

Annie says the advice she’d give to her younger self is to “slow down.”

Two degrees are better than one – especially if one is an #NCStateWilson degree!
Fatemeh Haydari (TE ‘25) set off to major in both textile engineering and biomedical engineering because she noticed how both programs really complement each other.
“I definitely think textiles adds to the BME field rather than vice versa, but in a lot of my BME classes, we talk about tissue engineering, scaffolding and stuff like that, which are often made out of textile materials. Especially the polymer engineering that we go into a lot for TE definitely helps with that,” Fatemeh says.
