Many high school students know that if they want to major in business, medicine or education, UW-Madison is the right choice for college. But when considering fashion design, the Midwest does not immediately leap to mind.
Although UW-Madison is not widely publicized as a great place to learn about fashion, the Textile and Apparel Design program is not only one of the most comprehensive majors on campus, it’s also one of the most competitive.
Students must take a series of design courses before applying for the major. Once they can finally apply, only 15 students each are accepted for the textile focus and apparel concentration.
