Temple University College of Public Health

What Temple University College of Public Health does

Temple University College of Public Health, currently branded as the Barnett College of Public Health following a 2022 naming gift from Christopher M. Barnett, is an academic and clinical unit within Temple University — a public state-related university in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The college delivers public health education across seven academic departments: Communication Sciences and Disorders, Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, Health Services Administration and Policy, Nursing, Social and Behavioral Sciences, and Social Work. Its product portfolio spans undergraduate, graduate, certificate, accelerated (BS-to-MPH and BSRT-to-MSRT), and online programs, complemented by three on-campus clinical practice sites — the North Broad Physical Therapy Center, the Ellen Schwartz Speech-Language-Hearing Center, and the Temple University Health and Wellness Center — and student support functions through the Irvine Family Impact Center.

The college is headquartered in Paley Hall on Temple's main campus and operates with a 251-500 employee footprint. Its business model is consistent with a public state-related academic unit: revenue is derived from tuition and fees, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania appropriations, research grants, clinical service fees, and philanthropic gifts (the most material being the 2022 Barnett naming gift). The college does not own a proprietary technology platform and has no disclosed AI/ML capabilities; differentiated value rests on faculty credentials, program accreditation, and graduate placement at organizations including the Mayo Clinic, CDC, and EPA.

Go-to-market is conducted through Temple University's centralized admissions infrastructure for undergraduate, graduate, certificate, and online channels, supplemented by organic social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube), an annual Public Health magazine, events, and community engagement. Customer segments are primarily prospective individual students and, secondarily, community patients and public health organizations receiving clinical and fieldwork services. Dean Jennifer Ibrahim and Epidemiology and Biostatistics Chair Resa M. Jones are the named senior leaders; the college also reports a high-density cluster of 2025-2026 faculty awards across AOTA, ACSM, SBM, AAIDD, and internal Temple recognition, signaling active faculty development.
