Textile Sciences and Engineering

Textile Sciences and Engineering programs prepare individuals to apply mathematical and scientific principles to the design, development and operational evaluation of systems to test and manufacture fibers and fiber products, both synthetic and natural; to develop new and improved fibers, textiles and their uses; and to the analysis of related engineering problems such as structural factors, molecular synthesis, chemical manufacturing, weaves, strength and stress, useful life, dyes, and applications to composite systems.

For all the 297 degrees granted in Textile Sciences and Engineering annually, the majority of them are Postbaccalaureate certificate. Out of the 205 students graduating with degrees at the Bachelors degree level across the US, 86% percent identify as women and 14% percent identify as men. Though students at schools all over the US study Textile Sciences and Engineering, North Carolina has the most graduates. The average annual income for a graduate with a bachelor's degree in Textile Sciences and Engineering is $64,763.
