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.

“Get out of your research lab, join a professional development program, network with people, go to conferences. There’s so much out there and you only know what you’re exposed to. If you get out there and meet people you’ll learn more and be exposed to things that will shape who you are,” she says.

We are bridging accessibility gaps in the fashion studio! 🪡🌟
FTM student Kaleb Spivey turned obstacles into opportunities when he faced accessibility challenges with the sewing machines in the fashion studio due to not having use of his legs.
