Graduate Course Offerings
All incoming students must complete six lecture courses (18 credit hours). Three courses must be in your area of concentration and three are electives. It is the goal that all students will finish their coursework in the first year (3 courses per semester). Below you can find a summary of the courses that are available, organized by discipline (there are some courses co-listed under multiple divisions). The courses that are required, or are options to meet the requirements, for each division are shown in bold red. Others are available as elective options. All of these courses are not available every semester; you must check availability with the Department. A more detailed description of the course offerings can be found in the Temple University Bulletin. More information on the required courses for each concentration can be found in the Graduate Student Handbook.
