The major in Clothing, Textiles and Material Culture explores the material world of everyday life, from textiles to home interiors. This multidisciplinary, holistic major examines the theoretical, technical, creative, and applied aspects of the near environment, with a particular focus on clothing and textiles. Through studying the production, design, evaluation, and consumption of items such as fabrics, fashionable garments, museum exhibits, and home interiors, students gain both advanced academic knowledge and relevant practical experience.
After their first year, students declare a minor in Fashion Merchandising, Interiors, Material Culture and Design Studies, or Textile Science.
