Students applying to the Temple Rome Entry Year Program must apply directly to the campus that they'd like to graduate from (Main Campus in Philadelphia, USA or Temple Japan) and specify in their application that they'd like to attend the Rome Campus for their first year.

The considerations and requirements for the Temple Rome Entry Year Program are the same as those of Temple University Main Campus and Temple University Japan.
