Adaptable. Interdisciplinary. In-depth.
These attributes form the bedrock of the Master of Fine Arts program at the Tyler School of Art and Architecture at Temple University.
As an MFA student, you will study with an esteemed faculty equally accomplished as scholars and practitioners, amid a robust culture of research and an inclusive community dedicated to positive social impact.
From one-on-one mentorship and small, close-knit peer groups to large cross-disciplinary critique sessions, first-class facilities and the resources of a major public research university, you’ll discover new and surprising pathways to a future in art making, and likely exceed your own expectations.
