TEMPLE UNIVERSITY AMBLER FALL OPEN HOUSE TO INCLUDE
FOCUS ON CAREERS AND THE ENVIRONMENT

Where will your future lead you?

Whether your interest is working with the landscape or working in a high-rise corporate office, students can start their road to careers that will last a lifetime right at Temple University Ambler.

From high school students preparing for college to adults interested in returning to school or just taking a few courses, the Annual Fall Open House at Temple University Ambler will provide the personalized attention necessary to make informed decisions about a course of study. The Open House will be held at the Ambler campus, 580 Meetinghouse Road, Saturday, October 2, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Temple University faculty, administrators, and students will be on hand to discuss admission, adult student counseling, day undergraduate degree programs, evening degree programs, financial aid, and other important topics. Students can complete 22 bachelor’s degree programs and begin over 100 Temple undergraduate programs at Temple University Ambler.

For students interested in careers that positively influence the communities in which they live, work, and play, Temple University Ambler will hold a special program entitled “Careers and the Environment” October 2, from 9 to 11 a.m. in Widener Hall. The program will showcase the three programs that are located entirely at the Ambler campus: Community and Regional Planning, Horticulture, and Landscape Architecture. Participants will receive first-hand information from current students, professors, and alumni in each field.

“This is a new program we’ve created to give prospective students and their families a better idea of career paths and educational options available in these exciting fields, which all tie into the environment,” said Michael Schlotterbeck, Director of Enrollment Services and Marketing at Temple University Ambler. “Many do not realize the wide range of academic fields available at Temple.”

Temple University Ambler, located 30 minutes from Center City Philadelphia, has a student population of 3,200. Some of the most popular majors include: Accounting, Business, Community and Regional Planning, Elementary and Early Childhood Education, Horticulture, Landscape Architecture, and Psychology.

The 187-acre campus is also designated an arboretum. The Landscape Arboretum of Temple University Ambler is open to the general public as an educational and scientific resource.
