3. Tyler School of Art and Architecture, Temple University: Tyler presents a holistic approach to art and architecture, offering diverse programs from Graphic and Interactive Design to Sculpture and community arts.

4. The University of Pennsylvania (Penn): Although not an art school itself, Penn offers a Bachelor's in Fine Arts alongside a Bachelor's degree in any other field via dual degree programs. Their Art School, PennDesign, is well-regarded.

5. The University of the Arts, Philadelphia: This institution offers an array of undergraduate, postgraduate, and pre-college art programs.

6. Moore College of Art and Design: Particularly notable for being the first and only visual arts women's college in the U.S.
