Temple Fox School Students Get a Jolt of Pop-Up Pride

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.
Fox Online MBA Featured in The Economist
The Fox School of Business at Temple University was recently profiled by the Economist as one of the top business schools for veterans. The Fox Online MBA was ranked the no. 1 for veterans by U.S. News earlier this year. The Economist explains that since the program’s beginning in 2009, at least ten students enrolled in the program were either active military personnel or completed the program after leaving military service.
The online MBA is an ideal program for veterans and those serving in active duty because the curriculum for this program is extremely flexible and offers students multiple entry points through out the year. Courses for the program are taught one at a time over the course of four weeks. The course material is completed at the student’s own pace over the course of the four weeks, which allows for maximum flexibility for those who may not necessarily be able to complete course work due to active duty responsibilities.
