The QA/RA program has rolling admissions, which means that applications for the upcoming semester are reviewed as they are received.  However, the Admissions Committee will not review an application until all materials have been received, including:

·        The actual application form

·        The application fee

·        Two letters of recommendation

·        Essay of goals and objectives

·        Official transcripts from ALL colleges and universities attended. Even if you just took one course at a college and transferred those credits to another school, you must include an official transcript for that one course and the school where you transferred the credits.  Again, please submit official transcripts for ALL colleges and universities you attended.

·         Official transcript for all QA/RA courses taken from Temple University.

·        GRE scores

·        TOEFL (students with foreign credentials ONLY)

·        Evaluation of foreign transcripts (students with foreign credentials ONLY)

·        Signed copy of your resume (suggested for all students)

Once you have submitted your application with all of the supporting documents mentioned above, please check Owlnet to see if the materials have been received and recorded.  If you see a discrepancy, please call Sophon Din in the Office of Graduate Studies at 215.707.4972. 

All applications should be sent to:

QA/RA Graduate Program Office

425 Commerce Drive, Suite 175

Fort Washington, PA 19034-2713

Only COMPLETE applications are reviewed by the Admissions Committee.  Please check OWLnet to see the status of items you have submitted.  Please do not make the mistake of waiting several months – then finding out that a transcript was never forwarded or someone forgot to submit a letter of recommendation.

 

Once the Admissions Committee has all your materials, it usually takes a minimum of 6 to 8 weeks for the University’s Graduate School to make a final decision on acceptance. We urge students to submit their application as soon as possible.
