About the course

The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Glass program at the Tyler School of Art and Architecture, recognized as one the nation's top programs in the discipline, offers students access to unparalleled facilities and prepares them as artists and designers who understand the history, chemistry, technical and aesthetic aspects of working with glass. Glass majors at Tyler join a welcoming, high-energy community of artists and educators who work in expansive studios that provide opportunities to learn the full range of glass processes: glassblowing, hot-casting, kiln-casting, flame-working, performance and more. In addition to learning traditional and innovative techniques, students learn how to think critically and solve problems—all while enjoying Tyler Glass traditions from Blow-a-thons to Pumpkinferno. Tyler BFA students take full advantage of the school's location in Philadelphia, a vibrant art center with a strong glass art tradition, and its proximity to New York to find internships and jobs, explore museums and galleries, launch creative practices, start businesses and earn placements in the most competitive graduate programs. Designed to complement the studio experience with tools to support a studio practice or pursue graduate studies, the Entrepreneurship coursework enhances students' career options. Graduates of this degree program will possess requisite business skills to support themselves as visual artists or entrepreneurs in art and related fields.
