The Political Science and Economics Departments offer this interdisciplinary certificate, open to all matriculated undergraduate students, to provide students with the opportunity to study more intensely the relationship between the political and economic spheres of society.
The program is based on the belief that a focused examination of this relationship provides us with a better understanding of several social phenomena. Chief among these is a better understanding of public policy choices and the policy making process, as well as a better understanding of how government actions affect the process of economic change and vice versa. The Political Economy program provides an excellent preparation for graduate study in the social sciences and for the study of law.

Temple's Principal Certification Program prepares individuals to serve as principals and assistant principals, provides insight into the purposes and processes of schools, as well as the expertise necessary to lead and administer a school community.
The principal certification program at Temple is approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. A student must successfully complete all requirements for the program at Temple and successfully pass the Praxis test. Then Temple University will endorse the candidate for certification for the Principal Certificate in Pennsylvania. This allows the individual to serve as a school principal (K-12). To be eligible for a principal’s certificate, one must first be certified as a professional educator, and acquire (5) five years of satisfactory experience.
Normally it takes two to four years to earn Principal Certification. However, with Temple University College of Education´s Accelerated Blended Certificate Program, it is as convenient and easy as ABC. Educators interested in earning a K-12 principal certification can do so in little more than a year while still working full time as a teacher or school administrator.
The ABC program involves online course work during one academic year bracketed by in-class work during two summers. There is no application fee, and GRE or MAT scores are not required.
