Student Experience
Our college is home to opportunities — and a community — you won’t find anywhere else.
A Complete Education
Many institutions offer a textiles program or two. Only our college offers a comprehensive textiles education, backed by unmatched experiences you make your own.
Here, you can tap into the high-impact learning, extensive industry connections and worldwide engagement that are unique to us — not to mention all the resources of North Carolina’s largest university. From student-run fashion shows to senior design projects for brands like Under Armour or Red Bull, you can lead with like-minded peers.
Develop your passion for sustainability, pursue undergraduate research or study overseas in cities from Manchester to Melbourne. Tailor your experience to the things you care about. Then turn them into a fulfilling career.

A Whole World of Textiles
Our college is tight-knit, which means everyone knows your name and you can find your niche. But you can also access everything you’d expect at one of the nation’s leading public universities, from a wealth of student organizations to world-class wellness and recreation facilities to the best entrepreneurship programming in the Southeast.
And your opportunities don’t stop at our campus in Raleigh. We’ve developed ties with some of the nation’s best companies — over the course of more than 120 years — to ensure you can pursue exciting internships and gain invaluable real-world experience. Our global reputation will open doors for you around the world.
In fact, only one other college at NC State sees a higher proportion of its students pursue study abroad — and they make it a requirement. For us, it’s one experience among many designed to maximize your college journey and prepare you for life.
