Required supplemental materials should be sent attention to:

Graduate Programs Office
Attn. Application Processing
Temple University - College of Education
150 Ritter Annex
1301 Cecil B. Moore Avenue
Philadelphia, PA 19122-6091

Please allow delivery and processing time before your application will be reviewed. For faster service, the College of Education at Temple University also receives supporting application materials for graduate admissions electronically via the Interfolio service.

STEP THREE: Submit Your Official Transcripts

Please request official* undergraduate and graduate transcripts from all accredited colleges or universities attended to be sent to:

Graduate Programs Office
Attn. Application Processing (Transcripts)
Temple University - College of Education
150 Ritter Annex
1301 Cecil B. Moore Avenue
Philadelphia, PA 19122-6091

*Please note submitting unofficial transcripts through Interfolio may allow the graduate department to begin the review process but may also delay the review or decision process. All applicants who are admitted and have not already done so will be required to send an official, final transcript from their degree bearing institution upon admission. Transcripts from all institutions attended must be included even if the credits have been transferred and are shown on the transcript of a receiving college or university. Foreign credentials must be in the original language as well as translated into English. Foreign transcripts require a formal evaluation before an admission decision can be made. To expedite this process, you are strongly recommended to use the WES evaluation service (www.wes.org).

STEP FOUR: Submit Your Official Test Scores

You must submit all test scores electronically through ETS or testing agency. Arrange to have appropriate test scores sent to the Graduate Programs Office. Temple University school code for GRE and GMAT scores is 002906. There is no school code for the MAT.

• Official score reports from either the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or Miller Analogies Test (MAT). Scores must be current within the last 5 years.
• TOEFL for non-native speakers of English.
