Undergraduate Programs
Welcome to the Apparel and Textiles program!
 |
The Apparel and Textiles program focus on both apparel and textiles emphasizing both design and merchandising. Students experience excellent instruction, stimulating and challenging lab experiences, and additional guest speakers and projects through Appalachian Fashion Group, our student organization. |
| Students especially enjoy and learn from field study including trips to the New York City fashion district and the Atlanta Merchandise Mart. Contacts developed through such experiences open opportunities for internships as well as permanent employment. |  |
 |
Common career positions include apparel or textile design, production, buying and selling merchandise, distribution of merchandise to the consumer, fashion coordination, fashion promotion, fashion editing, consumer affairs, and related activities to carry out these functions. Skills in public relations, business management, design and aesthetic appreciation are essential |
| If you would like to see our student designs, consider visiting us for the fashion Showcase, produced the last weekend of each spring semester. If you have questions about a major in Apparel and Textiles, or a minor, get in touch with Dr. Linda Secor (secorlc@appstate.edu) or Dr. Judy Miler (milerjk@appstate.edu) .
