THE SCHOOL OF
ENGINEERING & TEXTILES


Textile Design


W
ith expanding international markets, the billion-dollar textile industry provides a world of opportunity for talented textile designers. Our program puts you on the fast track to an exciting career in this field. Textile majors range from those that are primarily design-oriented to those focused on textile science and engineering, enabling you to specialize in the area most suited to your interests and strengths.

  • Each year, our students win awards in design competitions sponsored by international corporations and textile associations.
  • Textile designers begin their education in the studio to develop a sense of color, light, shape, texture and form. Next, they explore properties of fibers, yarns and dyes, and study the ways that fabrics are constructed. Advanced courses allow students to concentrate in woven, knitted or printed textiles.
  • The University invites designers and artists to campus to interact with students. Recently Joy Boutrup (Denmark) and Jason Pollen (Kansas City) conducted a collaborative workshop. 
  • World-renowned textile and fiber artist Junichi Arai of Japan recently visited the campus to share his inspirational designs with students, faculty and members of the design community.
