Intercollegial Programs
Goals and Objectives
Intercollegial programs at Temple include a national honor society and a
growing number of interdisciplinary academic programs that involve students
and departments in more than one of the University's schools and colleges.
These programs provide students with opportunities to cross the boundaries
of traditional academic disciplines, combine a variety of perspectives,
and take advantage of faculty expertise in different departments and colleges.
They are designed to accommodate students' interests and prepare students
for success in a variety of career fields. The schools and colleges collaborating
in these societies and programs are indicated in each description.
Each colleges' degree requirements are described in the college sections
of this Bulletin. Students should consult the contact
person for an intercollegial society or program for more information about
both collegial policies and requirements and the society or program itself.
Special Programs
Phi Beta Kappa
Membership in the society is open only to students enrolled in the College
of Liberal Arts and the College of Science and Technology. Eligibility
for membership is considered each Spring. At this time, juniors and seniors
who are candidates for the B.A. or B.S. degree are eligible for consideration
if their undergraduate record fulfills the following minimum requirements:
- The candidate shall be majoring in a department or program in those
colleges and be taking a course program expected to include not less
than 95 hours of letter graded liberal arts and sciences courses (including
courses transferred to Temple as arts and sciences courses) among the
hours required for the B.A. or B.S. degree.
- During the semester in which eligibility is considered,
- The candidate must either have completed or be in the process
of completing 60 semester hours of courses in CLA or
CST at Temple University (Students transferring to Temple from
a college housing a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa will have CLA
or CST equivalent courses counted as if they were taken at
Temple);
- The candidate must have taken 12 semester hours per semester
for at least 4 semesters that may include the current semester
and/or two consecutive summer sessions;
- The candidate must have completed or be enrolled in 2 full-time
semesters at one of the Philadelphia campuses of the University.
|
- For election as a junior, the candidate shall have completed not
less than 75 nor more than 89 semester hours of college work. The caliber
of the candidate's work should be of exceptional distinction, including,
for all graded work in CLA/CST courses, a GPA of at least
3.80. The minimum CLA/CST GPA needed for a candidate to be considered
for election as a senior is 3.50. Candidates who have achieved this
minimum CLA/CST GPA at Temple and who have transferred to Temple 30
or more semester hours of course work, will have their CLA/CST GPA recalculated
to include grades received at the transfer institution(s) in liberal
arts and sciences equivalent courses.
- Candidates shall have demonstrated a knowledge of mathematics and
of a foreign language at least minimally appropriate for a liberal education.
Candidates shall have completed at least one college level mathematics
course. (This would include only courses in the Mathematics Department
numbered 55 or above or Statistics 11 and 12.)
Candidates shall also have completed at least one semester of a foreign
language at the second year level. At Temple, this generally means completion
of a foreign language course numbered 61 or above that was taught in
the foreign language. (Courses taught primarily in English do not fulfill
the requirement.) Students for whom English is a second language will
be exempted from this requirement, provided that a notation to this
effect appears on the "events" screen of the student's DARS document.
It is the student's responsibility to make sure that this notation is
made prior to the semester in which eligibility will be considered.
- Weight shall be given to the breadth of the program of each candidate
as shown by the number, variety, and level of CLA/CST courses taken outside the major. (Generally, breadth is indicated by two upper
level courses taken outside the division of the major.) Weight shall also be given to the balance and
proportion in the candidate's degree program as a whole.

AMERICAN CULTURE AND MEDIA ARTS

Allen, Co-Director
215-204-8429
The American Culture and Media Arts major combines faculty and courses
from the American Studies program (in the College of Liberal Arts) and
the Film and Media Arts Department (School of Communications and Theater).
It is one of the first programs to bridge two schools at Temple, making
use of the University’s broadest resources. Students can choose
this major from either school (CLA or SCAT), with the requirements
the same in either case. American Culture and Media Arts majors
will develop critical thinking skills relating to an understanding of
the place of film, television, photography, and print media in our society.
They will also develop skills in historical and contemporary research.
Majors sign up, in their senior year, for a semester or more of
Internship at one of any number of media-related industries and museums
in the Philadelphia area, designed to give students some practical experience.
Academic work and field work are coordinated and keyed to the student’s
program of study and interests.
Students graduating with the American Culture and Media Arts major can
expect to pursue careers in media-related organizations, e.g. film, video,
and radio production; archival and library positions; public relations
jobs in media; museum research positions supporting exhibitions and media;
writing about media for publications. Graduates can also pursue
advanced training at the graduate level in documentary film production.

ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES
Robert J. Mason, Director
(215) 204-5918
rmason@nimbus.temple.edu http://www.temple.edu/env-stud
Students will be equipped with the scholarly background
and intellectual
skills to understand a wide range of pressing environmental
issues, and
They will come to appreciate the physical, economic, political,
demographic, and ethical factors that define those issues. Among
the many environmental problems central to our program are groundwater
contamination, suburban sprawl, river basin management, and the greening
of abandoned urban spaces.
Offered jointly by the College of Liberal Arts and College
of Science and Technology, Environmental Studies includes both B.A. and
B.S. options. A minor also is offered and a Certificate of Completion
is an option for those already holding an undergraduate
degree in a different field.

A joint program of the Department of Economics and the
Department of Political Science leading to certificate of specialization in political economy.
PURPOSE
The purpose of the Political Economy program is to provide
undergraduate 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.
For these reasons the Political Science and Economics departments
offer an interdisciplinary certificate in Political Economy. The program is open to all
matriculated undergraduate students. Applicants need not be declared
majors in either economics or political science. The Political
Economy
program provides an excellent preparation for graduate study in the social
sciences and for the study of law.
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
The program consists of two components; required core courses
at the lower-division level and elective courses at the upper-division
level.
Core - All students must take the following core courses:
C051 (or H091) - Macroeconomic Principles
C052 (or H092) - Microeconomic Principles
C051 (or H091) - The American Political System
AND
One of the following:
C052 (or H092) - Foreign Governments and Politics
C053 (or H093) - International Politics
Elective Courses
All students must successfully complete
(grade of C- or better) four courses from the following list. Two
of the four courses must be in economics, and two courses must be in political
science. Students should select courses that correspond to their
own substantive interests and are encouraged to take cognate areas (e.g.,
if you choose international politics courses, also choose international
economics courses). Students should plan their schedules well in
advance, since many courses are not offered each semester.
