A Small School of Art, Architecture, Design and Planning + a Large Research University
As a Tyler student at Temple University, you live in two worlds – the small, individualized creative environment of Tyler and Temple’s large, dynamic ecosystem of scientists, entrepreneurs, performing artists, aspiring doctors, lawyers, social workers and technologists, who will expose you to …almost everything.
Your Tyler education offers an intense creative education hallmarked by one-on-one attention and mentorship. But step outside our studios and classrooms and you’ll find the massive resources of Philadelphia’s only public university at your disposal. From undergraduate research and creative grants to student jobs, internships and study abroad, you’ll find ways to grow at Temple you can hardly imagine now.
Take a course in Dark Academia: The Literature of College Life or Tupac Shakur and the Hip Hop Revolution. Or add a Temple University minor or second major to your Tyler program. Tip: Temple University offers 600+ program options.
Study abroad at Temple’s campuses in Rome or Japan. Spend four-weeks in The Global Good’s Program in Prague. Or explore the country of your ancestors. There are at least 1,000 study abroad programs from which to choose.
The musicians, writers, theater and media artists working on the forefront of their disciplines.
Temple has 330-plus student clubs and organizations that range from Thrift and Flop, Language and Linguistics Club and Future Business Leaders of America to Film in Color, Insomnia Theater and many others.
Join the 4,000 people everyday who take part in Campus Recreation programs like intramurals, group fitness classes, club sports, adapted recreation, aquatics and working out in the Independence Blue Cross Student Recreation Center.
With about 1,500 students at the Tyler School of Art and Architecture, and about 30,000 across Temple, we deliver the type of education only possible at a small school that’s part of a large, renowned research university.
This gives you the small college experience – personal attention and mentoring – while putting Temple’s enormous resources – internship opportunities, research experiences, campus jobs and state-of-the-art facilities like the nation’s largest computer lab – at your fingertips. It’s like getting a private education for a public university price.
Equipped with a Loretta C. Duckworth Scholars Studio’s Makerspace Residency, MFA Sculpture alum Ollie Goss (MFA ’24) used Temple University’s Makerspace inside the Charles Library to complete their thesis project, Tunnel of Love, an amusement park ride built from a mobility scooter and PVC-pipe, examining how rules and regulations govern space, hindering access.
Today, Goss is a multimedia artist and puppeteer based in Philadelphia.
The Makerspace provided Goss with electronics expertise, 3D and resin printing and much-needed advice. “The Makerspace staff has been so generous with their time and resources. I didn’t have the confidence in the electronic parts of my project until going to the Makerspace.”
