Textile Technology Management is a multidisciplinary program designed to educate students for research and management careers in technology management in the fiber, textile, apparel and related industries complex. The program is designed to give the students a breadth of knowledge of the materials and technologies employed in the industries as well as the quantitative and analytical tools of management.
Admission
Requirements:
Students majoring in textiles; industrial, systems and manufacturing
engineering; statistics; operations research; computer science; economics;
consumer economics; marketing; and business administration, and having an
average in their undergraduate studies of 3.5/4.0 and a Master's degree will
normally qualify for admission. Exceptionally qualified students (3.75/4.0
undergraduate GPA) may be admitted directly without a Master's degree.
Doctoral
Degree Requirements:
Fixed credit-hour requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy degree are 72. (Up
to 18 hours from an M.S. may be applied against the 72.) Students are admitted
to candidacy for the Ph.D. degree after passing two preliminary written and oral
examinations (the first covering manufacturing technology and the second the
management of technology) and orally defending a research proposal. They must
also have passed an English technical writing course during their college career
and, depending on the nature of their research interests, may also be required
to demonstrate a reading knowledge of one foreign language.
Student
Financial Support:
Financial aid in the form of assistantships and fellowships is normally
available for all U.S. full-time students. Financial aid in the form of Graduate
Research/Teaching Assistantships may be available to a limited number of
international students.
Course
Offerings:
Extensive use may be made of graduate course offerings in other colleges on
campus when developing the minor field. See departmental listing for
descriptions.
