Individual research of advanced computer-aided design methods.

Exploration of a topic (to be determined) not covered by the standard curriculum but of interest to faculty and students in a particular semester.

Screen printing repetitive and engineered designs on fabric. Design process, color formulas, and screen preparation. Additional work required of graduate students.

Digital design for the development of decorative patterns. Motif manipulation, color selection, repeat techniques, and presentation methods. Additional work required of graduate students.

Focus on experimentation with fibers composition utilizing quilting, appliqué, embroidery, beading, lace-making and other processes. Emphasis on compositional balance of color, form, contrast, texture and imagery. Additional work required of graduate students.

Focus on processing and manipulation of pliable fibers into three-dimensional forms for wearable or site-specific applications. Students will use various structural supports to create mass and volume. Additional work required of graduate students.

Research textile parameters from the perspective of student's design specializations. Design and fabricate cloth and finished projects for those applications. Emphasis on creative problem solving and investigating qualities of textiles within different mediums. Additional work required of graduate students.

In-depth exploration of a problem or problems. Individual independent study upon a plan submitted by the student. Admission by consent of supervising instructor or instructors and the department.
