The Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Metals/Jewelry/CAD-CAM (MJCC) Program at the Tyler School of Art and Architecture offers students mentorship from a faculty of practicing artists, expansive, state-of-the-art facilities and the resources of Temple, a leading public research university, to hone their creative practice and prepare for a range of successful careers in design and craft.

Tyler’s MJCC Program is an innovator in the field, providing students access to the latest technology and thinking, extensive tools, and personal mentorship. The rigorous, research-based curriculum is firmly grounded in craft traditions and history is committed to adopting emerging technologies, new ideas and new concepts to advance the discipline. Students and faculty explore the unique characteristics of materials to work at the forefront of the field, pioneering new attitudes, technologies, materials and processes that will lead the field in new directions.

The curriculum is complemented with numerous visiting artists; opportunities for research and travel to national conferences; and faculty and alumni networks in the art and craft world and in Philadelphia—a vibrant art center with a strong craft tradition. MFA students develop and focus their personal visions while acquiring a foundation to grow their creative practices and businesses, or teach in higher education.
