Temple University College of Education and Human Development

What Temple University College of Education and Human Development does

Temple University College of Education and Human Development (CEHD) is a college within Temple University, a public research university in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1919 as Teachers College and renamed College of Education and Human Development in 2020, CEHD is the largest school of education in the metropolitan Philadelphia area. It delivers more than 50 undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, certificate, and accelerated (+1) dual-degree programs across three academic departments: Policy, Organizational & Leadership Studies; Psychological Studies in Education; and Teaching & Learning. Programmatic outputs lead to Pennsylvania Department of Education certification as well as APA, NASP, and ABAI-verified credentials in school psychology and applied behavior analysis.

The college's underlying delivery model combines traditional on-campus instruction with hybrid and online options, and is anchored by a network of clinical and field-placement partnerships — most notably a longstanding relationship with the School District of Philadelphia and articulation agreements with four regional community colleges. Six research and outreach centers (CAEEPA, CREATE, Institute on Disabilities, Intergenerational Center, SERP, and the Center for Professional Development in Career & Technical Education) plus the Psychoeducational Clinic generate research output, applied services, and grant activity. Differentiated offerings include the accelerated +1 dual-degree program, the Temple Teacher Residency, and an international MEd/EdD partnership delivering Educational Leadership programs in Jamaica with Church Teachers' College.

CEHD's revenue model is consistent with a state-related public university college: tuition and fees form the primary stream (described as recurring/subscription-style on a term basis), supplemented by alumni giving and donations via an in-house Development and Alumni Relations office, plus professional development services delivered to partner districts. Pricing is administered centrally through Temple's Bursar and is not publicly itemized in the source material. The college is hierarchically positioned within Temple University's governance structure with no independent ownership, external investors, or disclosed financial statements.
