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.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
Carolyn Kitch, Director
215-204-5077
The American Culture and Media Arts Program is a joint major between the School of Communications and Theater and the American Studies Program in the College of Liberal Arts. The major is a response to the fact that mediated culture - film, television, radio, photography, print journalism - has come to dominate the experience of Americans, while at the same time American values and traditions inform our creation and reception of the media.
Students in the program take coursework in both CLA and SCAT. Those classes provide a foundation for critical awareness as well as preparation for a variety of media-related careers, including: research positions in film and video production; archival and library positions in media institutions; public relations jobs in media; museum research positions supporting exhibitions and media; and writing about media for publications.
36 credits are required for the major.

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, environmental justice, 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.
