The Ceramics 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 Ceramics program fosters mastery of the discipline through access to internationally recognized faculty, state-of-the-art facilities, and Philadelphia鈥檚 rich clay culture, resulting in work that challenges the medium鈥檚 traditional boundaries. The close-knit Ceramics M.F.A. community is connected to the extended Tyler M.F.A. cohort through interdisciplinary mentorship from a faculty of socially conscious artists, technologists, designers, and art historians. The Ceramics faculty engage one-on-one with students to develop individual direction and encourage the exchange of ideas in the studio and across Philadelphia supported by the resources of Temple, a large public research university.

As members of the region鈥檚 preeminent Ceramics program, Tyler M.F.A. students partner with organizations in Philadelphia, a city with an established clay tradition and a thriving contemporary art scene, as well as other major cultural centers nearby, including New York. Philadelphia also offers opportunities for students to join a thriving arts and culture community and work as practicing artists and professionals.

Accreditation: This degree program is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD).

Areas of Specialization: In the Ceramics program, equipment is available for wheel work, mold-making and slip-casting projects, and digital fabrication. Large kilns are available for hand building and sculpture. Students are expected to demonstrate both conceptual and technical excellence in the area, as well as a profound interest in research and experimentation.

Job Prospects: The M.F.A. program prepares graduates for careers as professional artists, craftspersons, designers, and educators. Application Deadline: Fall: January 6
