Summer Programs

Summer and Special Programs

Our Summer Programs offer more than 150 areas of study and provide another way to customize your Temple education. Courses are available at our Main, Ambler and Center City campuses.

Students often take summer courses so they can

focus on just one or two courses at a time;
prepare for study abroad;
complete an internship for credit, or have more time for an internship during the fall or spring semester;
create a more flexible schedule during the fall or spring semester;
fit in a double major or minor; and
graduate early.

This virtual information session focuses on what opportunities students have to take courses at our U.S. campuses over the summer. Many Temple students choose to study abroad over the summer. Learn more about our overseas campuses and study abroad programs.

Video Transcript

Congratulations on your admission to Temple University. This video will give you a brief overview of how to make the most of your summer as a Temple student.

Taking summer courses is a great opportunity for you to start learning at Temple right away. Summer courses are for anyone who wants to optimize their time and squeeze in as much as they can to their college experience.

Summer courses may be right for you if you want to focus on just one or two courses at a time, create a more flexible schedule during the fall or spring semesters, fit in a double major or minor without graduating late, make time for an internship, or prepare to study abroad or fit in a study abroad experience.

Best of all, taking courses during the summer can help you graduate early and start your first job after college that much sooner.

During the summer Temple offers courses in nearly every one of our academic areas. So you will be able to find something that fits your goals. Summer courses are also offered on all of our campuses and online, so you can truly learn anywhere.

If you are currently in high school, you are eligible to take summer courses at a reduced rate through the summer, prior to your first year at Temple.

Check out our website to learn more about summer at Temple. We are so excited to welcome you to our university community.

Proranger Program

Have you ever dreamed of one day working at the Grand Canyon or the Everglades? Temple’s Proranger Program is a partnership between the university and the National Parks Service to recruit and train law enforcement park rangers for U.S. National Parks.

After successfully graduating from Temple and meeting all Proranger Program requirements and standards, students are eligible for non-competitive conversion to a position as a law enforcement ranger within the National Park Service.
