Doctorate Programs in the college of Education

Graduate Life at Temple

The College of Education at Temple University, founded in 1919, supports the University as a national center promoting high standards in both teaching and research with an international presence and a special commitment to serving the communities of metropolitan Philadelphia.

The College provides opportunities for academically talented and motivated students without regard to their status or station in life. We welcome with equal enthusiasm high achieving high school graduates, graduates of community colleges, those resuming their educational careers after spending time in the workplace, and those who aspire to a college degree but lack the standard preparation. The University's richly diverse student population remains one of its greatest strengths. This diversity of people and perspectives enriches the College, influencing all aspects of academic life including its programs, curriculum, collaborations and field placements.

The College's engagement in strategic efforts to improve urban education stems at least in part from the character of the students it prepares to become professional educators.
