With this track, students earn both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in four years from one of Temple’s Philadelphia or Japan schools or colleges. This track requires spending at least one term, but ideally two terms (fall, spring or summer), on each of Temple’s campuses in Philadelphia; Tokyo, Japan; and Rome, Italy.

To finish both degrees in four years, you will

• complete three summer terms;
• participate in an international internship in either Japan or Rome; and
• save time and money by using nine to 12 credits of electives to take graduate courses during the junior and senior years—reducing time to complete a graduate degree. Credits can jointly apply toward completion of both bachelor’s and master’s degrees.

Temple offers alternate tracks for students who want to experience all three global campuses. With the three-year track, students can earn a bachelor’s degree on an accelerated timeline without committing to a graduate degree. This track involves spending at least one—but ideally two—terms, at each of Temple’s campuses in Philadelphia, Japan and Rome.
