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.

FiberFest FUN! 🧵🎊
Earlier this month, a group of students, staff and faculty from #NCStateWilson competed in a yarn spinning and weaving contest at @carolinafiberfest . Their challenge? Construct a shawl in less than six hours. Turns out this team only needed about four and a half. Scroll through for a look at the beautiful work they put together!

Nobody does a field trip quite like #NCStateWilson!
Students in graduate course TTM 510: Apparel Technology Management recently visited Glen Raven and Cotton Incorporated. They toured the facilities and got a behind-the-scenes look at technology that goes into home textile and apparel production for both companies. The class also got to check out corporate HQ at @sunbrella on the trip!
