Our take

Temple University program assessment

Temple University is an ACOTE applicant pathway, not an active accredited program in our ranked comparisons. Its profile is provided for verification and planning only. Confirm the program's current status, admissions eligibility, graduation pathway, and certification-exam eligibility directly with ACOTE and the school.

Why it stands out

The 91.4% multi-year NBCOT average gives a more dependable read than the latest result alone; the range bottoms out at 67%.

Tradeoffs that matter

ACOTE lists the program as "Applicant," not standard "Accreditation." Confirm exactly what that status means for admission, graduation, and NBCOT eligibility before enrolling.
The five-year record fell as low as 67%. That variability matters more than a strong latest year because the result has not been equally dependable across cohorts.
Its #83 public value placement is a weaker institution-level cost and debt signal within the matched public-school set; it is not an overall program-quality rank.

What to compare next

Compare this master's program with entry-level OTD options on time to degree, capstone expectations, and whether the doctoral credential changes your intended career path.
Use the 91.4% five-year NBCOT average and 67% low year when comparing outcomes; they say more about consistency than the latest 100% result alone.
Use the #83 public value placement only to identify institution-level cost and debt peers; then compare program-specific curriculum, clinical emphasis, tuition, and outcomes directly.

Applicant read

How the program's structure changes the decision

Degree level, delivery format, and accreditation timing create different kinds of value even when two programs have similar outcomes.

Degree path

This is a master's pathway. Compare program length, total cost, fieldwork placement quality, and whether the degree format fits your work or family constraints.

Format fit

A campus-based format favors students who value regular access to faculty, labs, and a local cohort. The cost is less control over commute and weekly schedule than a genuinely hybrid program offers.

Accreditation review context

ACOTE lists the next review window as 2030/2031. This is scheduling context, not a quality grade; confirm the program's current status and any review outcome directly with ACOTE.

NBCOT performance
