Stucfy on IM., any students have a similar goal in mind when they choose to come to college: get a degree in order to make money. Unfortunately, the route to getting that degree can involve taking courses that may make you wonder if you ' ll ever graduate. Fortunately, Temple offers a wide variety of resources to help students get through those rough spots. The first place to start is the library. Always quiet and equipped with an impressive computer lab, it most likely offers all the resources you ' ll need. Right next door is The Tuttleman Learning Center- a.k.a. Club Tuttleman during mid-term and finals week- with study lounges perfectly suited to 2 a.m. cramming. It also has the only 24 7- computer lab on campus and is home to the Writing Center, where tutors are available to help you with papers. Across the street in Curtis Hall is the Math Science and Resources Center. There you will find tutors to assist with those intense chemical equations and statistic problems and as if that wasn ' t enough, they offer textbooks and calculators for students to borrow, as well as a computer lab. Another popular spot for academics is the Student Center, where you can borrow a laptop for a few hours and get to work on that paper in one of the many quiet lounges throughout the building. In addition to the Student Center, nearly all of the buildings on campus have areas perfectly suited to studying between 1H Classes Studying camp us i Photo by: Kenyatta Joseph Acommuter listens to music while reading. Students can find many quiet places around campus to settle down and study between classes. classes, including Speakman, Anderson, Barton, Annenberg, and Ritter Annex to name just a few. Most of the colleges offer individual tutoring centers where you can get help in a particular subject, such as the Intellectual Heritage (IH) tutoring center in the College of Liberal Arts; all you have to do is ask your professor. Though it may occasionally be hard to believe, they do want to see you get that degree and make money. So study long and hard, and don ' t be afraid to ask for a little extra help! - Kenyatta Joseph I HI

At Temple University, students get the chance to tal e classes that will directly prepare them for their intended field. cTe emple University has a commitment to teaching, and a desire to learn from an ever-changing world. Simply put; as the world changes, Temple changes with it. Temple requires students to take certain university core courses along with the core classes needed in their respective field of study, and the combination equips students with the knowledge of how to succeed in their career and in life. In addition, Temple is a leader in curricular initiatives, having received national recognition for its Learning Communities in which incoming freshman form small groups according to their majors and interests. Temple is still growing and making changes to present curricula in its schools. This school year, the Fox School of Business and Management approved a new major in the area of electronic marketing, called eMarketing. This unique program is a reflection of the growth of eCommerce in business-to- consumers sectors, placing emphasis on integrating technology with business management. Moreover, the School of Communications and Theater has introduced a new course entitled Intro to New Media: Neighborhood Narratives. Senior Anne Lipsky says, This is probably the best class I ' ve taken here. We go out to Philadelphia neighborhoods and conduct stories and research based on anything we find interesting. Whether it be a person or an abandoned building, I love it. Temple University knows that in order to be successful, what students learn must be a reflection of today ' s society. And with that understanding in mind. Temple students are getting the best education possible. -Megan R. Smith Classes Studying 19
