The M.F.A. program prepares graduates for careers as professional artists, craftpersons, designers, and educators. The Master of Fine Arts program is intended for a student whose work has achieved strong definition and who seeks continued growth and education.
Courses primarily take the form of individual critiques, with regularly scheduled group meetings.
Seminar work is scheduled to engage broad contemporary issues. Students are required to attend the program full-time. This program is offered at the Tyler campus. The graduate student can elect to spend one of the two years in the program at Temple's Rome campus, with faculty approval. Tyler School of Art is an accredited member of the National Association of Schools of Art and Design, National Architectural Accrediting Board, and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.
