5.6 Clothing and Textiles
Acting Head: Lena Horne

Students majoring in Clothing and Textiles may select programs with emphasis on one or more of textile product development; textile and apparel economics and marketing; textile and apparel history; and textile science. Those who plan to emphasize textile science are advised that high school Chemistry 40S is a prerequisite to the chemistry specified for this area of study. Students are advised that they may spend one or two terms at the University of Alberta's department of Human Ecology. A plan of study under this arrangement must be approved by the faculty in a Letter of Permission.

In March of each year program planning sessions are provided to assist students in their selection of courses for subsequent years of study. Signed approval by a faculty member is required before registration is permitted.
