At the graduate level, first year students are encouraged to experiment with different approaches to studio practice, expanding the conceptual basis for their work as well as enhancing their technical knowledge.  The second year builds on the first, with a more focused exploration, culminating in a thesis show or professional portfolio presentation.  The graduate program is designed to be flexible, accommodating students with diverse backgrounds and career goals.

The fiber department has well-equipped weaving facilities, including a variety of four- and eight-shaft floor looms, AVL-Compu-Dobby looms, and an AVL electronic jacquard handlooms.  Fibers students have access to 28 CAD workstations equipped with NedGraphics software for textile print design, dobby, jacquard, and three-dimensional mapping of patterns.  AVL weaving software, Adobe Photoshop, and Illustrator are also available.  The department also offers equipment for screen printing, machine embellishment, papermaking, and felting.  Studio spaces are available for graduate and senior students.
