The interdisciplinary nature of textiles and our impressive student to faculty ratio translate to exceptional research opportunities for undergraduates<\/strong> at the Wilson College of Textiles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the time they graduate, it\u2019s not uncommon for our undergraduate students to have their name listed on a published piece of research. Some gain research experience as soon as the summer before their second year of college. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of a lab group, undergraduate students also travel to symposiums around the world and win awards for their research presentations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of the state-of-the-art equipment in our labs, centers and institutes, students not only advance science, they also become familiar with the technology and processes they\u2019ll use in the industry or in graduate school.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students across all of our undergraduate programs conduct research<\/strong>, from textile engineers to textile designers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
