Program Description

An overarching mission of the Department of Interior Design and Fashion Studies is to facilitate environmental and social responsibility through scholarship, education, and outreach that enhance ecologically sustainable products, processes, and behavior. The resident master's and doctoral programs emphasize issues of sustainability and globalization in the apparel and textiles supply chain with courses in research methods, theoretical foundations, consumer behavior, supply chain management, surface design, and textiles. Individual programs of study, capitalizing on the interests and disciplinary backgrounds of students and faculty, are developed to build the theoretical, technical, and methodological skills necessary to solve human ecological problems involving apparel and textiles.

About the School

At the College of Health and Human Sciences at Kansas State University, we focus first on people. From the innate need for clothing and shelter to physical exercise and proper nutrition to mental well-being, our students have dedicated their education to better the lives of people.

We inspire and prepare passionate and caring individuals for a meaningful life, and a career that promotes human well-being in the areas of business, design, teacher education, human behavior, and health sciences. Home to the departments of Applied Human Sciences; Food, Nutrition, Dietetics and Health; Hospitality Management; Interior Design and Fashion Studies; Kinesiology; Personal Financial Planning; and the K-State Center on Aging, our programs will provide students with hands-on experience and the skills needed to make an impact in the lives of individuals, families, and communities.
