Founded in 1884 in Philadelphia, Temple University boasts 17 schools and colleges, over 600 academic programs, and outstanding performance in various professional academic areas, e.g., Fox School of Business, Beasley School of Law, Lewis Katz School of Medicine, and School of Pharmacy. The student number at Temple University is more than 30,000, with a student-faculty ratio of 11:1.
In the DBMD program, students will spend three years in NTU's undergraduate program and two years in Temple's graduate program. Upon fulfilling the graduation requirements of the two universities, students will be conferred a bachelor's degree from NTU and a master's degree from Temple University in five years. This program benefits students with cultural exchanges in language, academics, and culture alongside the international competitiveness brought out by the local and global degrees.
