The Department of Apparel, Textiles, and Interior Design encompasses disciplines that study the interaction of humans and their environment.  Faculty members specialize in apparel design, apparel marketing, interior design, and textile and product development.  They share a commitment to excellence in scholarship in its many diverse forms including discovery, integration, application, and teaching.  ATID programs share a common responsibility to teach within a human ecological framework and to give considerable attention to environmental ethics and social responsibility within the disciplines and professions represented.

Undergraduate programs lead to a bachelor of science in apparel and textiles or a bachelor of science in interior design, and a graduate program leads to a master of science in apparel and textiles or a doctoral degree in human ecology with specialization in apparel and textiles.  ATID is also a member of the Great Plains Interactive Distance Education Alliance (GP-IDEA) offering an online graduate degree in merchandising.  For more information check the website.

Students in all programs are encouraged to take advantage of diverse learning experiences including internships, study abroad, field trips, and study tours.  Students have the opportunity to join professional and student interest groups including:  the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), the International Interior Design Association (IIDA), the Apparel Marketing and Design Alliance (AMDA), and the Apparel and Textile Graduate Student Organization (ATGSO).

The interior design and apparel design programs are accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD).  The Interior Design program also is accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA). The Interior Design program at Kansas State University has been consistently recognized as one of the best interior design programs in the nation.

Facilities include well-equipped studios and laboratories for interior design, apparel design and production, and textile analysis.  The textile laboratory includes a body scanner for fit studies and extensive equipment for natural dye research. An extensive historic textiles and costume collection, housed in a climate-controlled storage facility in Justin Hall, is available for study and enjoyed in exhibits.
