Welcome to TUJ Undergraduate!
By becoming a TUJ student, you are joining a student body of undergraduate students and a worldwide alumni network. You will also become a part of the larger Temple University community, with campuses in Philadelphia, Rome, and around the globe.
Our undergraduate programs at TUJ includes:
- Japan Admitted (JA) students
Students directly admitted to the Temple system at TUJ with many seeking a degree from Temple University and intending to graduate from the Japan Campus. Bridge Program JAs, conditionally admitted students developing academic English skills and eligible to take limited undergraduate coursework, are also included. - Study Abroad (SA) students
Students from the Temple University Main Campus or other US universities who stay at TUJ for one or two semesters through an exchange program. For more information on becoming an SA student studying at TUJ, visit the Education Abroad website at Temple University Main Campus. - Temple Japan Entry Year (TJEY) students
Students who have directly applied and been accepted to Temple University Main Campus and take advantage of our international presence by spending their first year at our Japan Campus. For more information on becoming a TJEY student, visit the Temple Japan Entry Year website.
Once you are accepted to TUJ as a JA student, your primary point of contact will be the Office of Student Services and Engagement (OSSE). You will receive contact information and steps to complete your transition to TUJ shortly after your acceptance.
