Fashion and Textiles at Texas Woman's University offers bachelor's degree programs in Fashion Merchandising and Fashion Design. Programs stress a strong liberal arts background by requiring courses in English, history, government, mathematics, economics, humanities, art, and computer science. In addition, fashion majors at TWU acquire the basic knowledge, skills, and professional contacts that are vital to success in the fast-paced, global textile and apparel industry.

Students can obtain double degrees in fashion -- a B.S. in Fashion Merchandising and a B.A. in Fashion Design. Students completing this specially designed program will graduate with two bachelor's degrees in the same semester.

Fashion and Textiles also offers minors in Fashion Design and Fashion Merchandising. Typically, a minor comprises a minimum of eighteen (18) semester hours in the field, six (6) of which are at the advanced level.

Internship

An important component to the Fashion and Textiles Undergraduate Programs is the internship program in which all students are required to participate. The internship program provides students with industry experience in fashion and textiles-related fields while they complete their educational programs. Through these professional-level work experiences, students gain valuable work habits and skills, and many find their job after graduation through the internship program experience.

During the 20th century, dressmaking evolved into product development, variety store evolved into mass merchandisers, and textile production shifted from the use of natural fibers to manufactured fibers to microfibers. Throughout it all, TWU has maintained programs in fashion design and fashion merchandising.
