Graduation Rate
Temple University graduation rate is above the national average.
68% of full-time students enrolled for the first time to Temple University completed the education program and got a degree in 150 percent of the expected time of completion.
The graduation rate value includes only programs that were completed less than six years for four-year degrees or less than three years for two-year degrees.
Graduation rate is the percentage of institution’s new-entering, first-time, first-year undergraduate students who complete their program within 150% of the published time for the program. Graduation rate excludes an extensive number of students. This indicator doesn’t take into account students of nontraditional enrollments - part-time students, students who enroll mid-year, and who transfer from one institution to another. So graduation rate alone can create a misleading perception. Completion rate in the form of total number of students receiving any types of awards/degrees creates a complete picture. Combining this data with graduation rate is a better way to compare educational institutions.

Student Reviews and Ratings for Temple University
Overall Rating:
Everything is good except for the parking.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Had a nice visit by bicycle on the day when bikes can ride freely on North Broad St
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™The level of violent people surrounding the campus needs to be explained to your children. Do not go off campus...
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™I’ve dedicated 5 years to this school. The professors were probably the best thing about this school. If you’re in the School of Public Health you’ll love Prof. Scarpulla. She is probably the most influential and most caring professor I’ve ever had. The location is not the best. Parking was always an issue. Safety is also a concern. During orientation they teach on how to avoid rape.....so that’s not a good sign. The campus is pretty clean though.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Attending Temple University has been one of the best choices I've made in my life. I transferred from Penn State, which is itself a fantastic school, and found Temple's urban campus to be a great fit for me. Temple offers great academics, internship opportunities, extracurricular activities, sports programs, a beautiful campus--which they are always building up to be even bigger and better, caring and highly educated professors--many of whom will give their personal numbers to students for any extra help they may need, and a friendly and diverse student body.Having been to two of Pennsylvania's flagship universities offers me good insight. While both schools are great, I don't think anyone can argue against the more clear advantage Temple enjoys over Penn State: its geographical location. Having its main campus located in the heart of Philadelphia provides a wealth of opportunities for education, student life, internships, cultural experiences, and employment opportunities.I've enjoyed Temple so much I'm planning on sticking around for another three years to attend Temple's highly ranked Beasley School of Law.--Just one of the nearly 10,000 proud graduates of Temple University's Class of 2017!
