The Tyler School of Art and Architecture's Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Glass program, ranked among the country's finest, provides students with exceptional facilities and trains them to become skilled artists and designers with deep knowledge of glasswork's historical, chemical, technical, and artistic dimensions. At Tyler, glass students become part of a dynamic, inclusive community of artists and instructors, working in spacious studios that facilitate mastery of diverse techniques—from glassblowing and hot-casting to flame-working and performance art. Beyond acquiring traditional and cutting-edge skills, students develop critical thinking and problem-solving abilities while participating in beloved Tyler Glass events like Blow-a-thons and Pumpkinferno. BFA candidates leverage Tyler's prime Philadelphia location—a thriving arts hub with rich glassmaking heritage—and easy access to New York for internships, career opportunities, museum visits, gallery exhibitions, entrepreneurial ventures, and admission to elite graduate programs.
