Tyler’s multidisciplinary MFA graduate degree immerses you in your area of Studio Art while also asking you to travel the landscape of the other major disciplines to connect, think and see differently.
A STEM-designated program, Tyler’s MFA in Graphic and Interactive Design will expose you to emerging technologies and customizable professional practice courses, while pushing you to stretch the boundaries of your own work.
If you are a practicing artist, the Master of Education in Art (MEd) program gives you K-12 teaching skills and the credential to teach. For teachers, the Art Education master’s program gives you the milieu and space to flourish as a studio artist.

In this rigorous, intimate program, you will work closely with a faculty mentor to attain the intellectual and research skills necessary to work in high-level curatorial positions and academia.
As a Tyler graduate student you will work with world-class teachers who are also practitioners, whether they are making vanguard art, serving as active architects and city planners or contributing to the world’s knowledge base as scholars in their respective fields.
