Test 3
As Philadelphia’s public research institution, Temple University attracts some of the most diverse, driven and motivated minds from across the nation and around the world. These students and faculty bring the university to life and move Temple forward and upward in academics, teaching, research, athletics, research and the arts. The Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education designates Temple as an R1 university in the “very high research spending and doctorate production” category. Also powering Temple’s ascent are innovative approaches to admissions and affordability; a campus transformation; plentiful creative and research opportunities; rigorous academic programs and real-world opportunities; groundbreaking work in science, research and technology; and an indelible bond with and commitment to the city of Philadelphia.
Temple is home to more than 30,000 students and offers 600+ academic programs in 17 schools and colleges, on eight campuses, including locations in Japan and Italy. More than 3,400 distinguished faculty members, five professional schools and dozens of renowned programs make Temple an academic powerhouse. Academic programs not only help students gain valuable knowledge and experience during their time here, but they also prepare students for lifelong learning and success after graduation. Students enjoy the advantages and atmosphere of a large urban, public research university with the individualized attention that comes from a 12-1 student-faculty ratio. The majority of first-year students live on campus, where they are steps away from classes; the state-of-the-art Charles Library; the TECH Center; fitness and recreation facilities; dining options such as cafés, dining halls and food trucks; and the many arts, cultural, sports and scholarly events that happen daily at Temple and throughout the city. By living and learning in an urban environment, Temple students are well-prepared for the world. Employers laud Owls for their tenacity, teamwork and talent. Students also have access to an immense alumni network of more than 370,000 strong for guidance, job opportunities and mentoring.
