Textile website design

Welcome to the Department of Apparel, Textiles, and Interior Design's website. We hope you find the information you seek about our academic programs, our students and faculty, our scholarly focus and accomplishments, current events and special programs. We have recently added professional profiles for some of our alumni and advisory board members, and we encourage you to take a look.

Please take a few minutes to read our mission and vision statements below. We took great care to define our common purpose through these statements and we make decisions based on these guiding principles.

Our expectation is that this website is helpful to prospective students, current students, alumni, and departmental friends and partners in the apparel and textiles industry and the interior design profession. We welcome you to contact us if you need further assistance. We look forward to opportunities to work together toward mutually beneficial goals.
