Admission to the Textiles and Apparel Program
Freshman and transfer applicants to the University who plan to major in Textiles and Apparel should apply for admission as Human Ecology majors. When they have met the requirements described below, students may apply for admission to the Textiles and Apparel degree program. Students in the Human Ecology major have priority to register for Textiles and Apparel 205 and 105L. Students who are not in the Human Ecology or Textiles and Apparel major may register for Textiles and Apparel courses if space is available.
Admission to the Major in Textiles and Apparel
To apply for admission to the Bachelor of Science in Textiles and Apparel, Option I or Option II, students first must earn a grade of at least C in each of the following basic sequence courses: Mathematics 305G or 408K, (depending on catalog eligibility), Chemistry 301, Textiles and Apparel 205 and 105L; at least six hours of this coursework must be completed in residence at the University. The student must also have a grade point average of at least 2.50 in coursework taken in residence at the University. These requirements apply both to students with a major in Human Ecology and to other University students seeking admission to the Textiles and Apparel degree program. Students should consult Advisors in the Department of Human Ecology for information about the application process and deadlines. Application materials are available from the department.
Applications for admission to the Textiles and Apparel degree program are evaluated each long-session semester by the Textiles and Apparel Admission Panel. Students whose applications are denied may reapply. Admission decisions are based on the student's grade point average in the basic sequence courses, his or her University grade point average, and other factors. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the difficulty of the student's course load, course repetitions, life experiences, and performance on an assessment of apparel construction and design skills.
Grade point averages required for admission vary from semester to semester. Students who plan to major in Textiles and Apparel should have an alternate degree plan in mind, such as the Bachelor of Arts with a major in Human Ecology, in case the application for admission is denied.
