Graduate School Admissions
Tuition & Fees
Graduate education at Temple University is the key to your personal and professional success. It can make a major contribution to your economic prosperity and quality of life. Studies have shown that individuals with graduate degrees have greater access to the job market and consistently earn more than their counterparts with only a baccalaureate degree.
No doubt, attending graduate school can be costly. But a graduate education is an investment in the future—your future.
