Located in Philadelphia, the Tyler School of Art & Architecture’s Graphic & Interactive Design Department offers one of the nation’s most rigorous and respected BFA and MFA programs in graphic design. Students at Tyler are mentored by faculty members who understand the design profession’s exacting standards, are committed to the growth of each student, and are invested in their post-Tyler outcomes. Core pillars of the department include authorship, entrepreneurship, and design for social justice. Tyler students are taught a conceptual approach to the design process — they develop skills in research, image-making, typography, and visual storytelling, and they learn to work with information and content, creating digital systems and narratives across new and emerging technologies. The result is that student work is frequently featured in national and international design competitions and publications, and graduates are employed by influential studios and agencies. Based at Temple University, a great urban public university, Tyler puts students in a position to take advantage of a vibrant campus with more than 300 academic programs and the resources of a city with a reputation as a world leading (and affordable) art center. Students attend lectures and exhibitions at museums and galleries, participate in community art projects, and earn high-profile internships.
