Research Opportunities
Students in Tyler’s 22 academic disciplines can participate in research opportunities such as architecture and environmental design, art history, city/regional planning and community development, sculpture, and visual studies.
The Diamond Research Scholars Program provides rising sophomores, juniors and seniors the opportunity to engage in a focused, mentored research or creative arts project during the summer and fall.
Tyler and Temple University are closely tied to the city of Philadelphia, providing opportunities for undergraduate students to participate in hands-on, collaborative opportunities in the city.
