Three letters of recommendation should be obtained from college/university faculty members, gallery directors and/or curators familiar with the applicant’s academic and artistic competence. 

In 500 to 1,000 words, describe your interest in the program, research goals, future career goals, academic and research achievements, and how you will contribute to the Tyler School of Art and Architecture’s mission. Submit your statement through Tyler’s application portal.

Curriculum vitae is required.  

Official transcripts from all universities and colleges attended must be sent as part of the online application, including those where no degree was awarded, and courses were taken as an undergraduate or a graduate student. 

GRE test scores are not required for an admission decision. Applicants may voluntarily submit GRE test scores, but scores will only be used as a supplement to required application materials.

If the applicant does not have a degree from an English-language institution, they must submit scores for a standardized test of English. In some circumstances, the Graduate Admissions Committee may request additional supplemental application materials or an interview as part of the admissions process.
