Graduate 

Students with undergraduate degrees in textiles, the physical sciences, mathematics, or engineering who have at least a 3.0 4.0 average in their undergraduate major will normally qualify for admission into the graduate programs at the College of Textiles. Applicants from other disciplines wishing to enroll in the Department of Textile Engineering, Chemistry, and Science should have a minimum of two semesters of chemistry, two semesters of physics, and mathematics through differential equations before enrolling. Those wishing to enroll in the Department of Textile and Apparel Management need a minimum of 20 semester hours in physics, chemistry, calculus, and statistics with at least one course in each category. Students deficient in these requirements by only two semesters may be granted provisional admission.

For students with a limited textile background, formal study in advanced undergraduate and graduate textile courses may be required. The details are worked out for each student individually, with an attempt to minimize extra time required in the degree program. Applicants are required to take the GRE examination with preferred scores in the 65th percentile and above. International students are required to take the TOEFL examination. A minimum total TOEFL score of 80 is required with a minimum score of 18 in each sub group on the internet-based test.
