Fiber as a medium is inherently multidisciplinary. It takes many forms, from dyeing and pattern design to experimental fashion and costume. The field is ever-expanding due to interest in more sustainable practices and technological advances in craft. Fiber students have opportunities to learn everything from harvesting wool and utilizing traditional weaving and dyeing techniques to programming and creating on a Jacquard digital loom.

Advancements in areas such as entrepreneurial, architectural and interactive textiles have reshaped what a career in fiber looks like. Emphasis in this medium is on technical skill development and the generation of ideas through a materials-based process of making.
