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.

Not to mention, it's located in the heart of Raleigh, North Carolina, which U.S. News and World Report named the second-best American city to live in.
