Environment, Textiles and Design (ETD) offers multidisciplinary education in design and research of interior design environments and textiles and apparel, through participation in formal classroom instruction and ongoing research and scholarly endeavors. Students benefit from a broad-based program and a faculty specializing in areas such as design visualization, environment and behavior studies, history of interiors and textiles, interior design and interior architecture, material culture, textile and apparel design, and textile science.
Two undergraduate majors are offered: (1) interior design and (2) textile and apparel design. ETD also offers a Human Ecology: Design Studies graduate program (see the Graduate School Catalog for further information).
The interior design (ID) major prepares students for professional careers demanding knowledge of designed facility spaces and products. Career placement of graduates ranges from corporate business, to professional firms, to industry and governmental agencies.
The textile and apparel design (TAD) major offers the opportunity to channel creative thinking into challenging careers in the multifaceted textile and apparel field. TAD graduates find positions both nationally and internationally in a wide range of settings from industry to small business.
Student internships in both majors augment campus course offerings, providing students with unique learning opportunities in their chosen fields. ETD majors have access to design resources: studios, a computer laboratory equipped to support design work; textile laboratories including a testing room; an interior design resource room, the Design Gallery, the Helen Louise Allen Textile Collection, and the Ruth Ketterer Harris Library. In addition, a strong collaborative environment exists for students and faculty interaction with other departments, institutes, and museums on the campus and other design programs within the state and country.
The textile and apparel design (TAD) undergraduate major includes aspects of art, design and technology within a curriculum intended to develop creativity and problem solving skills. Additional academic courses in humanities, science and social studies provide students with the knowledge base and experience necessary to succeed in a variety of careers in textile and apparel design. Graduates have the option to become designers for industry, independent artists or entrepreneurs.
Students may spend their final year of study either at UW-Madison or at the Fashion Institute of Technology (F.I.T.) in New York City, where they participate in a visiting student program. Upon graduation, students who attend F.I.T. are awarded a B.S. degree from UW-Madison and an A.A.S. degree from F.I.T. Students attending F.I.T. who are considered Wisconsin nonresidents continue to pay out-of-state tuition, even if they reside in the state of New York. For information on the Fashion Institute of Technology, see www.fitnyc.edu/dynamic.html.
Freshmen should declare their intention to pursue the textile and apparel design major when they apply for admission to UW-Madison. Transfer students must have a 2.75 grade point average (GPA) in order to enter the program. The program is designed to be completed in four academic years. For transfer students, sequential courses and courses taught only once a year should be taken into account when calculating time toward completion of the degree, as graduation time may be extended.
All students must complete a one-year, 12-credit Phase I curriculum, which begins each fall semester. Upon completing Phase I of the program, students apply for admission into Phase II. Admission into Phase II occurs once a year, and is based on a student's grade point average in Phase I course work and the availability of space.
All textile and apparel design majors submit a portfolio in the fall of the year preceding the final year of study. Recommendation to F.I.T. is based on an evaluation of these portfolios and a minimum 3.0 grade point average. For those students who choose to spend their senior year in Madison, the third-year portfolio review forms the basis for determining an appropriate internship and senior thesis project.

Students will submit a portfolio in the fall semester before the final year in the program for which placement in a one-year associate degree program at F.I.T. will be based. A 3.0 minimum GPA is required for admission into F.I.T. Students must take electives to meet the 124-credit graduation requirement.
The undergraduate major in interior design is a four-year professional program accredited by the Council of Interior Design Accreditation (formerly FIDER) and leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in Environment, Textiles and Design. The program develops students' creativity in the design and planning of interior spaces by emphasizing the process and communication of design. Students learn to integrate the art of design with the social sciences concerning the interaction of people and their environment, the history of design, and the physical sciences relating to the effects of materials on the physical health and comfort of inhabitants. Insight into professional practice is enhanced through internship experiences.
Faculty maintain scholarly programs of study in design and research that form the basis of the graduate program and enrich the undergraduate program through course work, design review, and student mentoring.
Course content includes developing communication skills such as sketching, rendering, computer-aided drafting and design, and three-dimensional modeling with exposure to both residential and commercial interiors. In addition, courses in art history, history of interiors, business, engineering, and art are required. A final portfolio is required before graduation. Studio spaces for student use, a resource center containing catalogs and samples, plus a lighting demonstration area and computer laboratory provide physical support for the interior design curriculum.
Students who wish to pursue the interior design major begin in Phase I (pre-professional interior design course sequence) of the program. Advancement into Phase II (professional interior design course sequence) is competitive and involves an application process that occurs once a year, at the end of the fall semester.
Admission is based upon evaluation of a student's performance in Phase I of the curriculum. This includes a minimum of 18 credits from designated general university courses (i.e., arts and humanities, science, and social studies), and 15 credits of designated design-related courses. Students interested in interior design may enroll in the School of Human Ecology during the freshman year. Transfer students may take longer to complete their degree than students entering the program as freshmen, as they too must complete both Phase I and Phase II, which contain specialized courses that must be taken sequentially. Transfer students will need to have their records reviewed to determine whether prior course work may fulfill program requirements.
After completing Phase I of the program and upon acceptance into Phase II, all interior design students must purchase a laptop computer based on minimum hardware specification and software licenses determined by the department and updated regularly. Students also have the option, but are not required, to purchase a laptop computer before completion of Phase I of the program.
General education requirements must be met by all students.

Approval is required for courses selected to fulfill this requirement. Courses may be found in ETD or other departments across campus such as art, engineering, landscape architecture, art history, theatre, business, and journalism, among others.
ID Major Courses Taken during Phase I.
Upon completing Phase I of the program, students apply for admission into Phase II, which begins with ETD 222 Interior Design I. Admission into Phase II occurs once a year, and is based upon a student's grade point average in Phase I course work and the availability of space.
* 18 credits selected from the asterisked courses in the General Studies section, which includes GER Communication A. See asterisked (*) courses above.
These 15 credits of design-related requirements: ETD 120, 220, and 221 (Art 102 and 104 are accepted substitutes for ETD 120 and 220, respectively); Art 112, ME 160
