About the course

The Glass program at the Tyler School of Art and Architecture is a two-year, 60-credit program leading to the Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) degree that offers personal mentorship from faculty and visionary visiting artists in state-of-the-art facilities and encourages experimentation with media, interdisciplinary projects, and public art to ignite social change. The Glass program is a leading center of interdisciplinary thought and practice with state-of-the-art facilities and equipment. The program is ranked No. 2 in the nation among M.F.A. glass programs by U.S. News & World Report. The M.F.A. experience at Tyler Glass is defined by our commitment to cultivate each graduate student’s unique voice, with glass as only one of many modes of expression. Students explore the intersections of glass, sculpture, installation, video, performance, culture, making, and criticism—an approach that has helped build one of the most tight-knit alumni communities in the discipline. Tyler M.F.A. students take advantage of the school’s location in Philadelphia, a vibrant art center with a strong glass tradition, and its proximity to New York City’s arts resources to grow their creative practices and businesses and earn teaching positions in higher education at leading institutions.
