College of Textiles TOTE Program

Mission Statement To establish a high quality forum relevant to the needs of global industry and higher education that will provide leadership in the timely dissemination of information dealing with all aspects of textile and apparel, technology and management.

Degree Options
The Textile Engineering, Chemistry and Science (TECS) department offers masters and doctoral degrees. At the master's level, thesis and non-thesis options are available in textile chemistry (TC) and textile engineering (TE). The M.S. (Option A - thesis based) degree and the M.S.-Option B (non-thesis) degree offers advanced professional training with an emphasis on polymer and textile chemistry, textile engineering, textile materials science, management, manufacturing and quality control, or machine and textile design.

Students admitted to the TE program pursue a course of study and graduate research in machine/process design, information technology, or product design. Students admitted to the program pursue a course of study and research in polymer chemistry or color chemistry.
At the doctoral level, this department participates in the University-wide Fiber and Polymer Science (FPS) program, which is a multidisciplinary program that blends together the fundamental principles of the physical and mathematical sciences and engineering. FPS students in this department pursue a course of study and research in polymer chemistry and synthesis, textile materials and composites, information technology, machine and product design, biomedical application of textiles, chemistry of dyes and finishes, and pollution control and prevention.

Career Options
Graduates who have earned a master's degree have been hired into positions such as plant chemist, R&D chemist, color scientist, process or product engineer, technical consultant, and fiber and materials scientists. About one-half of the MS recipients enroll in doctoral programs. Our doctoral students move into postdoctoral, faculty, or R&D positions following the completion of their degrees.

Admissions
Applicants are accepted based upon an evaluation of undergraduate and graduate grade point average (GPA), Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores, relevant work experience, and (for international students) performance on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) examination. An academic record showing a "B" average or first class honors, a TOEFL score of 243 or higher on the computer-based examination, and GRE scores at the 65th percentile level or above on the verbal, quantitative and analytical sections constitute the general standards for admission.
