According to a study published last month by LifeHealthPro.com, the BBA program at Fox School of Business and its related coursework in Risk, Insurance and Healthcare Management was ranked among the top five in the nation. Fox’s Risk, Insurance and Healthcare Management program is the oldest, continuously running program in the country, dating to 1914. “To be ranked like this, it speaks to the quality of our faculty and students, to the rigor of our program and to the readiness of our students to enter the risk management and insurance field,” said the program’s chairman, R.B. Drennan. While LifeHealthPro’s research centered on the strength of undergraduate programs at qualifying colleges and universities, the report praised Fox School as the first in its region to offer an MBA program in Healthcare Management. Continuously accredited since 1970 by the Commission on Accreditation Healthcare Management Education, Fox’s Health Management program holds a top-25 ranking by U.S. News and World Report and a top-five ranking by the same publication among programs located within business schools. LifeHealthPro also applauded Fox for its ties to the Sigma chapter of Gamma Iota Sigma, a professional international fraternity for Risk, Insurance and Healthcare Management majors. In 18 of the last 22 years, the Sigma chapter has claimed the Edison L. Bowers Award, the highest honor bestowed upon a Gamma Iota Sigma chapter, which annually goes to the organization’s most-outstanding chapter. LifeHealthPro, which bills itself as “the only complete destination for life and health insurance advisors,” provides news coverage and analysis of the insurance industry.
