Overview

The Bachelor of Science in Fashion & Textile Design at North Carolina State University stays small so you can do big things. We accept only 32 students a year to make it easy for you to build solid friendships with other students - or find faculty mentors. You’ll get the attention you need to perform at your best.

We encourage you to study abroad. A “study abroad-friendly” semester is built into your junior year so you won’t fall behind in your classes. Pack your bags for countries like France, the Czech Republic, Australia and India to get your creative juices flowing.

It feels like you’re actually working in the industry.

Our students work in:

bright,spacious studios
use the latest technology to not only design fabrics and textile products
create prototypes.

You’ll have access to a digital design lab featuring digital textile printing, 3D body scanning and garment knitting; fashion design studios with draping, CAD for 2D and 3D design, two automated cutting machines, specialty sewing machines and a photo studio; and prototyping labs for doing everything from dyeing yarns to producing your own fabrics. Simply put: if professionals use it in the industry, you’ll use it here.

To create global leaders in fashion and textile design, the program melds aesthetic, functional, technical, and expressive appeal, combine cutting edge technologies with traditional design sensitivities, and use of the newest fibers and processes to create innovative textiles and the fashions and other products that use them. The program’s blending of “art," "science," and "management" builds on the strength of NC State University and our global industry partners.
