SEE THE AMBLER CAMPUS SECTION OF THIS BULLETIN FOR MORE INFORMATION ON SERVICES, FACILITIES, AND STUDENT LIFE.

The mission of Ambler College is the enhancement of the relationship between individuals, social patterns, and political systems and the natural, built, and cultural environments of contemporary life. Ambler College upholds the environmental traditions established by the Pennsylvania School of Horticulture for Women and carried forward by our founding Department of Landscape Architecture and Horticulture. As Temple University’s l7th college, our commitment is to the health of communities, the preservation and appreciation of the natural and historical landscape, and the recognition of the connections between the natural and constructed worlds. (Adopted by the Faculty, Ambler College, December 2000.)

The Landscape Architecture and Horticulture curriculum is structured to develop the analytic, design, and scientific skills required to plan and manage our environment. The department promotes the development of skills to solve major environmental problems in the urban, suburban, and rural landscape through an ecological approach to planning, design, development, and care of the land.

The new Community and Regional Planning degree program, building on the traditions already established in the Department of Landscape Architecture and Horticulture and the Center for Sustainable Communities, develops skilled practitioners for the dynamic and growing field of planning in government, non-profit, and private sectors. Students develop an understanding of the physical and economic issues of planning, a sensitivity to the social and environmental impact of planning decisions, and a knowledge of the governmental structures as they apply to planning. The program places students on the front lines of efforts to create and maintain sustainable communities in the future by providing the students with a broad-based understanding and awareness of multi-dimensional land-use and planning issues.

The Landscape Architecture program is accredited by the Landscape Architectural Accrediting Board. The undergraduate program in Community and Regional Planning will seek its first accreditation from the Planning Accreditation Board after it has graduated 25 students.

In June 2000, the Temple University Board of Trustees affirmed the collegial status of Ambler College and formally recognized Ambler College as the 17th college of Temple University. Ambler College presently houses programs in Community and Regional Planning (first offered in Fall 2002), Horticulture, and Landscape Architecture, and has plans for future academic programs to be added under the college umbrella.

The Department of Landscape Architecture and Horticulture traces its origins to the Pennsylvania School of Horticulture for Women, founded in 1911. Originally the department offered only two-year Associate degree programs, but in 1988 added two four-year degree programs in Landscape Architecture and Horticulture. The department's evolution has combined theory with practice, continuing the tradition of blending art and science with practical experience. Courses and programs are offered that utilize the 187-acre Ambler campus as both arboretum and laboratory for the work of Landscape Architecture and Horticulture faculty and students. In addition, a new state-of-the-art greenhouse was opened in Fall 2001.

The Ambler campus (as described elsewhere in the Bulletin) continues to be a teaching site for many courses and full degree programs sponsored by other schools and colleges of the University. (See the Degree Programs Chart for a listing of the full degree programs and the Ambler Campus section for additional information on campus facilities and services.)

215-283-1292

The 187-acre Ambler campus is designated an arboretum as a result of its mission to support the study, display, and conservation of campus gardens and living plant collections for the benefit of students and the general public. This natural treasure, home to horticulture since 1910, has been at the forefront of dealing with the environmental issues of each succeeding generation.

The various gardens and woods that compose the Arboretum serve as a living laboratory for faculty and students. The Arboretum includes the Formal Perennial Gardens, established at the early part of the 20th century; the Louise Stine Fisher Garden; the Woodland Garden; the Ground Cover Garden; the Formal Native Garden; the Herb Garden; the Class of 1990 Courtyard; the Sustainable Wetland Gardens; and the Native Plant Propagation Center. The Arboretum also includes woods and open spaces that provide a haven for various species of plants, trees, and animals.

Senior Semester in Rome
Seniors in Landscape Architecture (and in other Ambler College programs,
after careful consultation with there advisers) may elect to enroll in a Fall
semester abroad. Housed in the Villa Caproni, facing the Tiber River
just north of the Piazza del Popolo, Temple Rome offers courses in
painting, drawing, graphic and interactive design, photography,
printmaking, sculpture, and art history. Facilities include a library,
an art gallery, private work areas, and full equipment in studio
disciplines. Art history is taught through direct observation of
original works and historic sites. The student also may elect courses in
Italian, anthropology, history, or literature. For more information about
Study Abroad options, see International Programs and Study Abroad.

Academic and Career Development
West Hall 109
215-283-1237
tuaadvis@blue.temple.edu

Professional and faculty advisers compose the Ambler College advising staff. Advisers assist students with their choice of programs and curricula and help students understand University policies and procedures. Students are guided in the selection of courses to: complete their degrees, enhance their programs, and meet their career goals. Advisers introduce students to the various sources of information available on academic programs, enabling students to be well informed regarding their own education. While students must assume primary responsibility for knowing the requirements for their degree and for acquiring information about their academic status, academic advisers are a valuable resource. Students not eligible for telephone or web registration are required to see an adviser for course selection and registration.

Newly admitted freshmen and transfer students with fewer than 30 s.h. are advised for their first semester by professional advisers After 30 s.h., declared students see faculty advisers. Transfer students admitted with 30 s.h. or more are advised by faculty in department of their major.

The following College policies are in addition to the University policies and regulations that apply to all undergraduate students. See the Academic Policies section of this Bulletin.

Academic Distinction
A student whose semester average is 3.5 or above is awarded the distinction of
being placed on the Ambler College Dean's List. To be eligible, a full-time student must be matriculated, carry at least 12 credits of graded courses in that semester, and achieve a grade point average of 3.5. A part-time matriculated student must have completed the fall semester and following spring semester with a combined total of at least 12 semester hours of graded course work and achieved a combined two-semester grade point average of 3.5 or above. Students whose semester grades include one or more MG (Missing Grade), NR (Not Reported), or unresolved I (Incompletes) are excluded from consideration since grade changes may affect cumulative grade point averages.

Course Prerequisites and Co-requisites
The Ambler College faculty believes competencies are most efficiently and deeply developed when students follow a sequential program of learning. Students are responsible for knowing and completing all published prerequisite and co-requisite requirements for a course before taking that course. Students should refer to the latest version of the Undergraduate Course Descriptions for a listing of these requirements. Also see the Academic Policies section of this Bulletin.

Graduation Procedures
Upon completion of 80 semester hours, students must notify their advising units, in writing, of their anticipated graduation date. At that time, they arrange an appointment with a member of the advising unit. The purpose of the appointment is to determine whether they are meeting the University, college, departmental, and program requirements for their degree and for graduation. A summary graduation form is completed outlining remaining requirements for the degree. The form is signed by the adviser, the student and the advising coordinator for the program.

Early in the semester in which requirements for graduation will be completed, each student pays the University Graduation Fee, currently $30.00, at the Cashier's Office. The validated Treasurer's receipt accompanies the completed Application for Graduation form and is submitted to the department office. The Application for Graduation form must be properly completed, particularly the areas relating to the resolution of incompletes and diploma instructions.

Application deadlines are: February 15 for May graduation; June 1 for August graduation; and October 15 for January graduation.

Information concerning commencement activities (such as time, place, invitations, rental of academic regalia) is mailed only to students submitting the Application for Graduation form. Students will not have their degree awarded or diploma or transcript released until all University tuition and fees have been paid.

Placement Testing
Students who are required to take English and/or Mathematics testing must complete the assigned courses indicated by this testing.

Plagiarism and Academic Cheating
Plagiarism and academic cheating are prohibited. Essential to intellectual growth is the development of independent thought and respect for the thoughts of others. The prohibition against plagiarism and cheating is intended to foster this independence and respect. See Academic Policies in this Bulletin.

Planning Your Program of Study
The information in the following requirements sections is designed to provide you with guidance in planning your program of study. The requirements, electives, and sequences are detailed. Courses are scheduled for students to follow the planned sequence. If you do not follow your program as designed, you may face conflicts that will necessitate enrolling for additional semesters to complete your requirements.

If you enter a program after the freshman year, you must understand that your degree requirements may not be met within the traditional eight semesters. When you first meet with your academic adviser, you should plan how long it will take to complete your degree requirements.

Probation and Dismissal
Students whose cumulative or semester grade point averages fall below 2.0 are subject to warning or probation. Students who fail to remove themselves from probation after one semester are subject to dismissal. Students not making successful progress toward a degree are also subject to probation and/or dismissal. Students on probation are required to see an academic adviser for all subsequent registration activity and are encouraged to meet with an adviser on a regular basis to discuss academic progress and success strategies.

Readmission
Ambler College students who have voluntarily withdrawn or were dismissed from the University and wish to return must file the Application for Undergraduate Readmission form if they had more than one semester (fall or spring) of non-attendance. Readmission forms can be obtained in the Office of Academic Services, West Hall LL 11.

Before a readmission decision can be made, the student is requested to supply information, indicate any course taken since leaving Temple and provide a copy of an official transcript from each institution attended. Both the academic adviser and the student have the right to request an interview as part of the readmission procedure.

Students who left in poor academic standing (probation or dismissal) must
submit a Readmission Form and schedule an interview with an adviser.
Consideration for readmission as a result of academic dismissal will be based
on the quality of the student's previous records and the student's potential to
succeed in the coming semester. At least one Fall or Spring semester must elapse between academic dismissal and readmission.

Students who received a medical withdrawal must provide medical documentation clearing them to return to school and schedule an interview with an adviser before a readmission decision can be made.

Requirement Modifications
The requirements for the bachelor and associate degrees are under continuing
review and are, therefore, subject to modification. See the latest departmental
degree requirements for any changes and meet with an adviser to ensure these
changes are met.

Second Degrees
Students who have earned a Bachelor's degree may earn a second bachelor's degree in Landscape Architecture or Horticulture. Students who are interested in Community and Regional Planning (CRP) should consider enrolling in the CRP Master of Science degree program. Schools and colleges may waive up to nine credits of degree requirements outside the second major for students who already have a bachelor's degree. See Academic Policies and Regulations.

Courses Inapplicable to Graduation
Credits earned in the following courses are not applicable toward degrees
awarded by Ambler College: Military Science (ROTC), ELECT and Russell Conwell Center (SRAP), and Mathematics 0015. For the Department of Landscape Architecture and Horticulture, Horticulture 0015, unless it is the student's first LAH course or part of a successful credit certificate, is not applicable toward degree credit.

Grading
To be awarded an Ambler College degree, students must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 and pass all CORE courses with a C- or higher. In addition, Community and Regional Planning majors must pass every required CRP and required upper level related courses with a C- or higher. There is a required cumulative average of 2.0 for all courses in the major: CRP and upper level related requirements. For degrees in Landscape Architecture and Horticulture, no more than one grade below a C- is allowed in any course in either Landscape Architecture or Horticulture.

Residency Requirements
All undergraduates must take 30 of their last 45 semester hours as matriculated students at Temple University. Community and Regional Planning majors must complete at least half of the courses required in the major (required CRP and upper level related) at Temple. Students wishing to take academic work, including summer sessions, at another institution while a candidate for a degree at Temple must have adviser’s prior approval before enrolling at the other institution.

In addition to assistance from the Department of Student Financial Services, there are several scholarships and grants-in-aid that are available only to Landscape Architecture and Horticulture students. Applications for department scholarships are available from the Landscape Architecture and Horticulture Office. Also see Financial Aid.

The Department offers a variety of credit courses in the late afternoon, in the evening, and on weekends. These are open to people interested in horticulture who are not seeking a degree. It is also possible, over a period of years, to complete all of the requirements for the Certificate programs or Associate of Science in Horticulture degree by attending late afternoon, evening, and weekend classes. For many, these courses are a means of advancing their careers; for others, they are a source of personal enrichment. For more information, contact the Department of Landscape Architecture and Horticulture.

The following departmental policies are in addition to the University policies and regulations that apply to all undergraduate students and to the policies that apply to all Ambler College students.

Class Scheduling
The Associate Degree in Horticulture can be completed in daytime or in late afternoon, evening, and Saturday classes. Students in the bachelor's degree programs in horticulture and landscape architecture will be required to take junior and senior classes during regular daytime hours. Sophomore Landscape Architecture studio classes are also daytime classes.

No more than one grade below a C- is allowed in any course in either Landscape Architecture or Horticulture.

Sophomore Approval
Admission to Landscape Architecture and Horticulture is competitive, and approval is required to enter the sophomore year in the programs. It is expected that by that time students will have demonstrated a commitment to their chosen field and, in the case of Landscape Architecture students, sufficient design ability. After their first year, students will be required to submit a statement describing their reasons for choosing landscape architecture or horticulture as a career. Landscape Architecture students must submit a portfolio of freshman design and graphic work. A faculty committee will review these submissions, as well as the student's academic record within the Department.

The degree of Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture may be conferred upon a student by recommendation of the faculty and upon the satisfactory completion of a minimum of 130 semester hours of credit with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 overall and in the major.
