The University Academic Core Curriculum,
which is required of all Temple undergraduates,
is divided into categories that include
learning to use language effectively, developing
the ability to handle quantitative data,
understanding our cultural and political
history, developing an understanding of
a culture and/or a language other than
our own, and understanding the differences
between individual and communal needs.
The Core Curriculum also stimulates your
creative processes, as the inspiration
for art has no limits and can be found
in history, mathematics, philosophy and
the sciences.
Students in the BFA program can complete the Core Curriculum
on the Tyler Elkins Park campus, or can elect to take classes
at the Temple Main or Ambler campuses, using the free campus
shuttle bus. Tyler Main campus students have easy access to the
large selection of Core Curriculum classes offered every semester.

Intellectual Heritage, the most distinctive feature of Temple's
Core Curriculum, is a required writing-intensive, two-semester
course sequence introducing students to "seedbed texts" in
the western intellectual tradition, from ancient Greece to the
Bible through the twentieth century. For more information go
