Summary of Requirements
University Requirements
All new students are required to complete the university's General Education (GenEd) Curriculum.
All Temple students must take a minimum of two writing intensive courses for a total of at least six credits. The writing intensive course credits are counted as part of the major; they are not General Education (GenEd) or elective credits. The writing intensive courses must be completed at Temple University and students may not transfer in credits to satisfy this requirement. The specific writing intensive courses required for this major are:
