Textiles and fashion design
The BS in Textiles and Fashion Design is built around studio courses, where students learn to weave, dye, print, construct, pattern, illustrate and design. Students choose a Fashion Sequence or a Textiles Sequence.
Students accepted in their junior year can spend their senior year at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, graduating with a UW–Madison BS with a named FIT option and an associate of applied science from FIT. Coursework is supported by the Helen Louise Allen Textile Collection.
