M.S. in Family & Consumer Sciences

Design, Merchandising & Textiles

The Design, Merchandising and Textiles graduate program emphasizes the study of historic clothing and textiles, merchandising of textile and apparel products, interior design, and various aspects of apparel design, including both artistic and functional design options.

 

Faculty members are actively engaged in research and creative scholarship on a variety of topics. One of the goals of this program is the integration of knowledge from the arts and humanities, natural sciences and social sciences, and the application of this knowledge to the solution of human problems and the enhancement of human potential.

 

Additionally, many of our upper division undergraduate courses are cross-listed for graduate credit and we have the capability of creating independent studies if there are skills/topics you would like to learn more about that we might not have existing classes for.
