Temple University was founded in 1884 as a night school for working-class Philadelphians aspiring to the American dream. As Philadelphia’s only four-year public university, we are now one of the top 50 largest universities in America with campuses in Philadelphia, Rome, Tokyo and Kyoto. We offer more than 500 academic programs and we are among America’s largest educators in the combined fields of dentistry, law, medicine, pharmacy and podiatry.
