Course work in the College of Textiles emphasizes lecture and lab work in textile technology, operations management, textile chemistry, and computer technology in textiles and apparel.  The College offers capabilities in three-dimensional body scanning, direct digital printing on fabric, computer-aided design software for both knitted and woven fabrics and apparel product development, CAD/CAM facilities for creating fabrics and garments, a model manufacturing plant, studio space for design of fabrics and garments, the Burlington Textiles Library, and an active job placement service.

The combination of the two degrees provides a unique and exemplary balance of technical and artistic skills, broadening students employment and career opportunities.  Graduates may pursue careers as studio artist/craftsmen, industrial textile designers, limited edition textile makers, or may apply their skills to costuming, apparel design, interior design, museum or gallery work, teaching, or business.  Students not wishing to enter the five-year dual degree program may still choose either college's 4-year single degree program with the option of minoring in the other College.

The University's Gallery of Art and Design supports programs in both colleges by maintaining and expanding a textile study collection, offering internships in textile mounting regular exhibitions of textiles.
