Temple University Top Questions

Recitation and Lab professors know the names of the students. Favorite class was Math. Least favorite class was psychology. Class participation is required in small classes. Students have intellectual conversations outside of class. Students are very competitive. The average is usually high. Asian Behavior and Though was the unique class i have taken. Biology major under college of science and technology. They have Undergraduate Research Program which is good beginning for the research experience in science. School had very high and competitive academic requirements. The education at Temple is helpful for getting a job and learning or its own sake.

The overall academics at Temple are fantastic. I would say value wise, it is one of the best bangs for your buck you can get in college around the east coast. I am very bias because the business school is so good, but friends I have in other programs have nothing bad to say about the school either and have had no problem getting jobs with their degree. The professors I have had, had have all been amazing. A lot of my professors are coming directly from my field and bring a real life perspective to class which makes it a lot easier and more effective to learn. No matter how big my classes have been, I have always been able to get time to talk to a professor and establish a relationship. Once you get into upper level classes it is all smaller classes and a much more intimate experience in learning. The students for the most part I have seen are competitive with grades. I mean of course that depends, there is always some messed up kids no matter where you go. But I know at least for the business school it is a very intense and competitive atmosphere. I know for Film at Temple and Nursing it is the same way. People put in extra hours and have a lot of work to do always.

I am apart of the Business School and I have to say, I LOVE IT! We are currently rank #55 in the country for 2011. A few of our programs are in the top 10.

All of my professors so far have been available during their office hours, and I've only had 2 lecture classes. Most of my other classes have between 6-25 students.

The classes are pretty easy and amazingly very few students seem to do well. That should give you a clue as to the intelligence level of the average student.

academics at temple is excellent, i actually was going to go to Drexel but they didn't have my major of actuarial science. their are plenty of scholarships like SROP and diamond, that are not that hard to get. also there's a program that if you want to do independent research, the school will provide you with $1000 and your department will match your grant. the professor's are pretty cool, most are liberal, but the ones in the economic department tend to be more conservative fiscally, i'm not sure about socially.

Temple academic requirements need one thing adjusted. I should not be limited on how many credits I can take in my major. It is my major for a reason. IT'S MY FUTURE CAREER. I would like to have as much diverse experience as I can get. I do understand that Temple does want to make well-rounded individuals. I completely agree. Although, when I cannot finish my Theater minor (1 credit mind you) because I have reached the maximum credits allowed and would not be able to gradute, that is when I get infuriated. I do not know what all students do when they look for colleges, but when I was picking mine the program and major was a huge factor. The fact that I had to limit myself definitely lowered the enjoyment and learning potential I could have had at Temple. Though I did gain much in my 4 years, I know that if I was permitted I could have made myself even more prepared to blast forward in my field. Now I have to do extra work to make up for the loss.

temple has a good academic program, good staff, and good ways to help you find your classes you need.

I am a Kinesiology major... I like the Kines classes I've taken so far and am looking forward to taking the rest. The professors are all very knowledgable and seem to enjoy what they do. For the most part, any I've had to deal with within the deptarment has been nice and helpful; the people I had a problem with are no longer a part of it. It is annoying that i have to take certain classes, but most schools i have looked at require the same thing, so it's hard to be too upset over that. One thing that i REALLLLLLYYYY hate is that to take summer classes at another school, it has to be 50 miles away from TU. This was veryyyyy frustrating bc i live in NJ and didn't want to commute to TU every day for my whole summer...but my community college isn't 50 miles away. luckily i had another option that worked out... but it still would have been easier to go to my community college.
