Application for Admission See individual program listings for required admission materials. Please send the application and supporting credentials to Dr. Ira G.

Applications are due on June 1 for the fall semester and October 15 for the spring semester. Graduate Assistantships To qualify for an assistantship, students must first be admitted to a graduate program. Since faculty nominate or designate candidates for support, students should apply directly to the School for graduate teaching or research assistantships within the School of Tourism and Hospitality Management. Generally, decisions on awards for the fall are made in early spring, so all assistantship applications must be submitted no later than February 15. Applications for assistantships outside of the School need to be submitted directly to the department or program of interest. General Requirements for Master's Programs Credit Taken at Temple Prior to Matriculation The time period for completing a graduate degree in the School begins with the semester in which the student has been admitted. All courses taken prior to that semester are subject to evaluation and approval by faculty in the student's program. A maximum of 9 credits of work done at Temple University prior to the semester of matriculation (acceptance) will be counted toward satisfying degree requirements. Time Limits The time limit for completing all requirements for the Master's degree programs is 4 years with an additional year available as an extension of time for good cause. All requests for extensions of time must be directed to the School's Graduate Coordinator and Academic Director. Requests must include a rationale for an extension and a plan for completion. Transfer of Credit A master's student may, with school approval, satisfy a maximum of 6 credits of his or her course work outside of the University. All transfer credits must be "B" quality or better. Time Limit on Courses Transferred Courses taken within 5 years of the beginning of the student's semester of matriculation may be counted toward the degree with the approval of the Graduate Coordinator. Space in Graduate Programs Space in all graduate programs is limited by the number of graduate students currently enrolled. To maintain the quality of degree programs in the School, it is sometimes necessary to deny admission to a qualified candidate when the student/adviser ratio exceeds School-defined limits. Alternative Admissions While the School recognizes the appropriateness of an overall undergraduate grade point average (GPA) of 2.8 or last two years of 3.0 as a reasonable entrance standard, the School has established a procedure for admitting a limited number of students who do not meet this standard and who are otherwise adequately prepared to pursue a graduate education. On the recommendation of at least two members of the faculty admissions committee, the Graduate Faculty Committee will review candidates who do not meet the minimum GPA requirements established by the University Graduate Board. Applicants may be required to submit additional materials to the Committee or may be called for an interview.
