Temple University was founded in 1884 as a night school for working-class Philadelphians aspiring to the American dream. As Philadelphia’s only four-year public university, we are now one of the top 50 largest universities in America with campuses in Philadelphia, Rome and Tokyo.
We offer more than 500 academic programs and we are among America’s largest educators in the combined fields of dentistry, law, medicine, pharmacy and podiatry. In the past few years, Temple students became Rhodes, Goldwater and Gilman scholars.
Our bustling Main Campus is set against the backdrop of the Philadelphia skyline in America’s first World Heritage City. Green space, athletic facilities and eclectic architecture ranging from the historic Temple Performing Arts Center to an emerging state-of-the-art Charles Library form a vibrant residential setting. More than 300 student organizations, including Temple’s NCAA Division I athletic programs, thrive on campus.
