Jewelry/MetalsThe graduate program in Jewelry/Metals recognizes the fact that most graduate students expect to go on to college teaching, therefore, emphasis is placed on preparing students for an academic career. The Graduate Seminar in Metals (477-478) explores the many facets of teaching on the college level. Opportunities are provided for the graduate student to have experience teaching at the undergraduate level. This seminar also provides an opportunity for the students to discuss current philosophical and aesthetic positions that help them develop their own directions. The alternatives of establishing one's own studio or working for industry are addressed in studio and seminar assignments. The studio course provides the time for students to meet with faculty on a one-to-one basis and receive assistance in pursuing their own artistic and professional interests. 420.

Tyler School of Art's graduate program in Visual Design encourages students to expand and refine the skills that they have developed as undergraduates, as well as to explore personal directions as designers. The graduate program is structured around very small, intensive, seminar-style classes, allowing a great deal of faculty contact. Tyler's renowned faculty are practicing professionals as well as dedicated teachers, so students learn the practice as well as the theory of design. The studios offer graduate students both individual work spaces and access to a letter press, 4-color offset press, silkscreen printing, stat cameras, Macintosh computers with a full array of software, color scanner, laser printers, and other equipment. Students work on a variety of assignments, many of which are long-term projects such as books or folios. Other courses such as computer graphics, packaging, corporate design and publishing allow the opportunity to specialize in particular areas of interest.
