Enrolling and serving an average of 1200 Temple and non-Temple students a year, the Education Abroad team is committed to providing transformative global learning experiences that prepare the diverse students from Temple and our U.S. partner institutions to develop as engaged global citizens, collective problem-solvers, and leaders in their chosen field.

They review applications for assigned programs and make admission decisions, manage the visa application processes for students, coordinate with administrators and faculty regarding curricular issues, process and track all pre-departure forms and documents, guide students through the entire application and pre-departure processes, and liaise regularly with program leaders and/or on-site program staff. They identify and resolve problems related to their programs and students. 

The Program Manager participates in the promotion of international education across the university and at partner institutions, and attends special events. Supports general office functions, including general study abroad and scholarship advising and recruitment/outreach for all Education Abroad administered/approved programs. 

The Program Manager role requires a well-organized, detail-oriented professional, committed to student service and advising, with the ability to work collaboratively as part of a team in a fast-paced and dynamic environment.
