Major Advising
Though the Professional Advisors in the Academic Advising Center are available to students throughout their academic careers to help them complete their Core and College requirements, students are urged to meet with the Faculty Advisors in their Major Departments to discuss their Major requirements. Through contact with departmental faculty, students gain an in-depth appreciation of a specific discipline and discover opportunities associated with their field of interest.

Pre-Graduate School Advising
Many College of Liberal Arts students choose to continue their studies by attending Masters or Doctorate Graduate programs of their choice. While each graduate program has specific admissions requirements, it is recommended that students meet with their Departmental Faculty Advisor for further information. Students should begin planning as soon as their sophomore/junior year.
Pre-Law Advising
Students do not need a particular major in order to apply for admission to Law School. It is recommended that students begin to meet with a Pre-Law advisor during their freshman year. The College of Liberal Arts Pre-Law Advisors are: Dr. Paul Crowe, Associate Chair & Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of Philosophy (pcrowe@temple.edu); Elizabeth Reynard, Professional Academic Advisor (ereynard@temple.edu). Please contact Dr. Crowe directly for an appointment; contact the Advising Center at 215-204-7971 to schedule an appointment with Ms. Reynard.
