Difference between three tier and MVC

Could anyone, please, explain me in few words, is there any difference between these two architectures? I'm writing a paper about three tier architecture with JSP and Servlets technologies, but i get a little confused, reading all that stuff in the internet.

As i see it, Three Tier Architecture (or Model 2) and Model View Controller are basically similiar ideas (or patterns), but it seems that they are not the same. I'm not sure if i should mention MVC in my paper, i'm afraid i'd make a mistake confusing these two terms.

In fact, is MVC really an architecture or is it just an idea, which is used in three tier model?
