About the Department
For more than 120 years, the Wilson College of Textiles has developed a reputation for exceptional education, innovative research and productive industry partnerships. While we take pride in that legacy, we continue to set higher standards and new goals. That means establishing sustainability as the foundation of everything we do. It means updating the cutting edge technology used in our state-of-the-art labs and studios. Put simply, it means using our textiles expertise to improve quality of life for everyone.
We produce leaders who make a difference both at home in North Carolina and across the world. Students land top jobs in manufacturing, fashion, athletics, research, medicine, academia and more. Our faculty count the CDC, DOD and the NSF as regular research partners.
The Wilson College provides both the community feel of a small college and the resources of NC State, a leading land-grant public research university and recognized as the second best employer in North Carolina. Not to mention, it’s located in the heart of Raleigh, North Carolina, which U.S. News and World Report named the #6th best American city to live in.
