The Department of Interior Design and Fashion Studies encompasses disciplines that study the interaction of humans and their environment. Faculty members specialize in fashion business, fashion design, and product development. The department aspires to change the world through a focus on the human ecological framework in teaching, scholarship, and service in our disciplines. We have a shared concern for sustainability and hope that through our teaching and scholarship we will improve the human condition and be part of the solution to the ecological problems we face.
We are committed to excellence in scholarship in its diverse forms including discovery, integration, application, and teaching. The faculty members value the potential of their students and commit their effort to enhancing student lives and the quality of all human life through their scholarship and the life-long impacts of our graduates.
Undergraduate programs lead to a bachelor of science in fashion studies. Resident graduate programs lead to an accelerated BS/MS in fashion studies, a master of science in fashion studies or a doctoral degree in human ecology with specialization in sustainable fashion business.
Students in all programs are encouraged to take advantage of diverse learning experiences including internships, study abroad, field trips, and study tours. The fashion studies undergraduate program is accredited by the Textiles and Apparel Programs Accreditation Commission (TAPAC).
Facilities include well-equipped studios and laboratories for: fashion design and production, and textile analysis. The textile laboratories include a wide range of textile and product testing equipment, and extensive equipment for natural dye research. The department is home to the Kansas State University Historic Costume and Textile Museum with an extensive collection of artifacts available for research and public education through exhibition.
