Adult Learners

Welcome to Temple University Ambler!

If you are considering enrolling in courses at Temple University and would like to talk to an Admission's counselor, please call us at 267-468-8100. We would be happy to answer your questions and direct you on the next steps to take. This page also includes an overview of important resources and the dates of Information Sessions for Transfer and Adult Students.

You are not alone!

One in four students are at least 25 years old
at the Temple University Ambler and Fort Washington campuses.

You don’t have to worry about feeling out of place. Our adult learners, also known as “non-traditional” or “re-entry” students enjoy the classroom dynamics that result from a wide range of people interacting.

Thinking about taking a class, earning a degree, or just seeing what college life is like?

Some college credit, no college credit, no problem!

Students of all ages and backgrounds take courses at Temple University Ambler.

If you are thinking about starting or coming back to college but aren’t sure what path to take, give our Admissions office a call at 267-468-8100 and ask to speak to a counselor. We can advise you on one course to try; maybe an evening course will work for you, or even starting a full-time degree program.
