General College Graduation Requirements

The Division of University Studies is not a degree-granting college. It is an academic unit which exists to help students explore academic programs. All students must declare a major in one of Temple’s undergraduate schools and colleges upon completion of 60 credits, including any credits transferred from other institutions.

Individual Program Requirements

1. The total number of credit hours needed to graduate may be greater for some students based on initial placement exams, transfer evaluations, individual curricular choices (including declaration of major and students credit totals at time major is declared), and academic progress.
2. Certain courses fulfill multiple requirements. Consult your advisor to plan your curriculum more effectively.
3. Students must fulfill the necessary prerequisites for any given course or course sequence. See the Prerequisite and Co-requisite Policy in the University-wide Academic Policies section of this Bulletin.
