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 consider 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:
All female clerks have an additude and act like they’re too busy to help patients. Need to learn how to communicate with us! Catch additudes when you’re confused on what is suppose to happen!
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™One of my proudest accomplishments in life is working my way through Temple University. I transferred from Villanova when I decided I wanted to major in Communications and a very honest advisor at V.U. said, "If you've been accepted into Temple's School of Communications and Theater, you need to go there. It's the best". He was right. (Temple is alot less expensive, too). Because I had so many credits in religion and philosophy when I transferred, that was my minor, and I am honored to have known. learned from and become life-long friends with the late Dr. Franklin Littell, Professor Emeritus of Religion when he died, and the world's foremost scholar on the Christian response to the holocaust. I had plenty of other fabulous professors there, as well, both in and out of my major. I went to school to learn - no time to party with working full-time - and Temple is known as a commuter school, easily accessible from all of Phiily's suburbs. I don't know about "campus food', and who cares, anyway, but the food trucks all over the campus had some of the most varied, affordable, and best-tasting breakfasts and lunches I ever ate. I am retired now, with a comfortable pension, and getting my degree from Temple made all the difference in the world in my career, the jobs I was offered, and all of my professional successes. It is a world class school in a world class city. Thank you, Temple University!
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Great school for media; communications; and Business majors (i.e. finance, marketing, accounting, economics, MIS, business management and entrepreneurship); good night life; excellent food; lots of educated black people. Be sure to watch out at night because campus police on bikes don't really do much. Also the school is very bad at helping transfer students obtain employment and internships.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™Temple has been nothing but a nightmare to me. I chose temple because it has great academics and it does! The classes and the support for classes is phenomenal, but what really makes this school miserable to me is everything else. This is just my experience and if you like partying and city life, this is a good school for you. But what has been terrible for me is the food, the health services and the overall campus itself. I live in Johnson and the nearby dining hall is j and h dining hall and it has the worst food I have ever tasted. The variety is non existent and the food thy do serve is not acceptable. I got sick eating the burger and because everything is so horrendous, I refused to eat their and I almost starved to death. When I went to get myself checked out after I vomited blood, the people at the health services told me to come in the next day when I told them I was vomiting blood and I had to have my mom come all the way from home to philly to take me to the local hospital where I had to have surgery and stay a few nights! If I did what they said and waited for the appointment the next day, I could have been in terrible shape! It scares me that the food services and the health services are practically worthless in this school because instead of trying to have fun, I'm more concerned with surviving the year! I have already decided that after this year I will transfer out because I can't take the lousy services this school offers. But like previously stated, this is just my experiences and the academics are wonderful which is why I chose temple. But don't expect decent food or care because u probably won't find it here. Sorry Temple but you just aren't for me
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!
