Overview

The Painting program at Temple University, which is ranked among the top 10 M.F.A. programs in the nation by U.S. News & World Report, offers students access to unparalleled facilities and strong, personal mentorship.

The breadth and interdisciplinary nature of the Tyler approach is reinforced by exposure to practicing faculty artists in the school’s other programs and its visiting artist and lecture series, which brings leading minds to Tyler to interact with graduate students.
