ABOUT TEMPLE EDUCATION ABROADTemple University has a long history ofcommitment to international education and tostudy abroad in particular. We created our firstprogram in Paris in 1950, a summer programthat is still active today. Our Temple Romeprogram, founded in 1966, has developed intoa vibrant study abroad center hosting over500 students per year for semester andsummer programs. Another major milestonewas the establishment of Temple UniversityJapan in 1982, which today is a thrivingbranch campus with both undergraduate andgraduate level programs. Throughout theyears, Temple has encouraged faculty todevelop and lead programs around the worldto provide additional opportunities forstudents; many of our dedicated faculty havecontinued their programs year after year.

We in Temple Education Abroad are proud to carry out Temple’s commitment to studyabroad by continually developing andstrengthening study abroad programming not only for Temple students but for the

hundreds of students from other U.S. colleges and universities who participate in our programs each year. Our office currentlyadministers programs in Brazil, England,France, Germany, Ghana, India, Italy, Jamaica,Japan, Korea, Northern Ireland and Spain, and exchanges worldwide.

We take pride in providing quality advising,thorough pre-departure preparation, and timely,individualized support for students as theyprepare to go abroad. As a public institution,we are committed to keeping our programs ascost-effective as possible while maintaininghigh standards for academics and culturalintegration, and student safety, health andsupport. We are able to achieve this by drawingupon our many resources abroad as well asthose of Temple University’s Main Campus.
