Hi, I am keen on applying to Temple University next year. Just curious to know a bit about their student demographics. Anyone have any info on the typical makeup of the student body? Cheers!
Sure! As a university located in a major urban area like Philadelphia, Temple University has a richly diverse student body that reflects a range of experiences and backgrounds.
As of 2023, the racial-ethnic breakdown of the undergraduate student population was approximately 48% White, 15% Black/African American, 9% Hispanic/Latino, 14% Asian, 4% Two or More Races, with the remaining percentage composed of American Indian or Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, and those who didn't report their race or ethnicity.
It's also worth noting that Temple's student body is nearly evenly split by gender, with about 56% female students and 43% male students. A significant proportion of Temple's students are from Pennsylvania, but the university draws students from all 50 states and many foreign countries, resulting in a global student community.
Keep in mind that part of Temple University's mission is to provide broad access to higher education and they're committed to promoting diversity and inclusion on campus. Their diverse student population can provide a breadth of perspectives and experiences that can enhance the overall learning environment. Let me know if you have any other questions!
