Temple’s Fox School Part-Time MBA Rises in the Ranks
Temple University’s Fox School of Business’ Part-Time MBA program reached No. 16 on the U.S. News and World Report’s “2017 Best Graduate Schools” list, placing the school as the Greater Philadelphia metro’s highest placed program of its kind.
The rankings were announced on March 16, 2016. Fox jumped four places from last year’s position, and it is the school’s second year in a row on the U.S. News’ list of the country’s top-20 part-time MBAs.
On average, Fox’s part-time candidates possess seven years of work experience. While enrolled in the program, students maintain their careers while completing rigorous course work at their own pace. Participation in capstone and marketing consulting projects is a unique part of each student’s experience. These are coordinated by the Fox Management Consulting Practice (Fox MC), and they allow students to provide real-world strategic consulting solutions to clients who pay for their services. This is just one of many ways in which Fox Part-Time MBAs are able to enhance their current professional experience.
The program can be finished in 24 months with online learning as an option. This helps students who require flexibility while accommodating career demands. Study abroad is also available to part-time MBAs, and while it isn’t required, many candidates choose to incorporate these short term trips into their studies.
Fox School Dean M. Moshe Porat said, “This year, we earned the best ranking in the program’s history. We look forward to further enriching our Part-Time MBA program to continue helping today’s business professionals evolve into tomorrow’s executives.”
“It’s incredibly rewarding to see the Fox Part-Time MBA continue to rise in the U.S. News rankings,” Dean Porat continued.
