International Scholars/Employees

Temple University is pleased to welcome international scholars and employees to the city of Philadelphia and Temple's campus. Temple University is very proud of its long tradition of involvement in fostering international education. The current faculty, staff, and students are always eager to have new faces and perspectives added to the foundation of the institution.

International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) at Temple is available to assist Temple University-sponsored international scholars and employees with immigration matters as they prepare to arrive in the United States. ISSS encourages visitors to peruse the ISSS website for information about Temple, Philadelphia, the ISSS office and immigration requirements.
