About Tyler School of Art & Architecture:
The Tyler School of Art and Architecture at Temple University is known for fostering a culture of diversity practices in our scholarship and pedagogy. One of the Tyler School of Art and Architecture's core strengths is the breadth of its academic programs. The school offers more than three dozen degree programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels, in studio art, design, art history, art education, art therapy, architecture, and built environment disciplines. In each program, students work in small learning communities, while also benefiting from state-of-the-art facilities, a rigorous curriculum, and a large, diverse campus community.

About Philadelphia:
Located in Philadelphia, a hub of cultural and artistic activity and historical resonance, Tyler draws on the many opportunities and resources available throughout the city.

Philadelphia's urban context includes many notable works of architecture and urban design. Transformational design began with William Penn's city vision, incorporating green urban squares accessible to all citizens. The city's accessible green infrastructure was expanded over time to include Fairmount Park, the largest urban park system in the United States, and the Reading Viaduct Rail Park. The dense urban fabric, built up over three centuries, includes innovative architectural works from William Strickland's Merchant's Exchange to Howe and Lescaze's PSFS Building, and more recent works like Snhetta's Charles Library.
