The art student s educational experience is enriched by the opportunity to study at the branch of the Tyler School of Art in Rome, Italy. The program is open to M.A., M.F.A., M.Ed., and Ph.D. students. It is recommended that graduate students attend the Rome program for a complete year. Housed in the Villa Caproni, facing the Tiber River just north of Piazza del Popolo, the School offers courses in painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, and sculpture. Facilities include a library, an art gallery, private work areas for painters, full equipment in other studio disciplines, and a computer lab.
Art history is taught through direct observation of original works and historic sites.
The student also may elect courses in Italian, history, or literature offered by the College of Liberal Arts, which shares facilities with the Tyler School of Art in the Temple University Abroad center in Rome.
