Forbes Ranks Fox Among Top Schools for ROI and Job Placement
Forbes has ranked Temple University’s Fox School of Business among the top schools for job placement and return on investment. According to Forbes’ 2015 Best Business School rankings, the Fox Global MBA program has been ranked in the top 65 nationally for ROI and states that the school’s 95 percent job placement rate is “better than the vast majority of schools in the country.”
This is the school’s second consecutive appearance in Forbes’ biennial survey, which was released Sept. 9. Fox joins The Wharton School as the only other business school in Philadelphia to be ranked. Forbes rankings are based on the ROI achieved by students who graduate in the class of 2010. The rankings were evaluated based on a survey of 17,400 alumni from 95 different schools. To determine the rankings for ROI, the students’ total earning in the first five years out of the program were compared to the total cost of the program.
The Fox Global MBA program is a 54 credit, two year program that follows a cohort structure. The program offers concentrations in nine areas: business management, entrepreneurship, financial management, health sector management, human resource management, information technology management, innovation management, marketing management and strategic management. The Global MBA curriculum also includes “global residencies” of two weeks in other countries, a professional development speaker series and the Enterprise Management Consulting Practice, the live consulting project that integrates coursework, business experience and research.
“We work tirelessly to ensure that the value of a Fox degree continues to appreciate,” said Fox Dean M. Moshe Porat in a press release. “Our ascent in national and international rankings shows that our programs offer very strong returns. We take great pride in providing students with a superb education, incredible services, and strong industry connections so that our graduates find the best match to advance their careers.”
