The Online MBA program at Temple University’s Fox School of Business has been recognized as the best in the nation.
The Fox School’s Online MBA program was named No. 1 in the U.S. News & World Report’s 2015 ranking of the country’s top online MBA programs, receiving a perfect score of 100 and climbing eight positions, from No. 9 in the 2014 rankings.
U.S. News & World Report has ranked the Fox School among its top online MBA programs since the ranking’s inception in 2012. This year, U.S. News & World Report evaluated nearly 230 schools for inclusion, and ranked 147 graduate online business programs. Fox School shares the top spot in the U.S. News & World Report rankings with Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business and the University of North Carolina’s Kenan-Flagler Business School, both of which also achieved perfect scores.
“The Fox Online MBA connects cutting-edge technology and an accredited, high-impact curriculum with an internationally recognized faculty to foster a dynamic learning community,” said Fox School Dean M. Moshe Porat. “I am pleased that U.S. News & World Report has recognized our Online MBA program as the best in the country. Our Online and Digital Learning team continues to deliver the best advancements in technology to a quality, online-format education.”
U.S. News & World Report’s rankings, which were released Jan. 7, score online MBA programs based upon student engagement; admissions selectivity; peer reputation; faculty credentials and training; and student services and technology.
In the Fox Online MBA program, which first launched in Fall 2009, students benefit from a flexible curriculum carousel with multiple entry points. The Fox School’s Online MBA program launches with a weeklong residency at Temple University’s Main Campus in Philadelphia. The residency features a leadership course, networking, team building, professional development and special events. Each subsequent online course is delivered one at a time over four weeks, and the program can be completed in as quickly as 20 months.
The program employs a flipped-classroom approach, a 24/7, on-demand format that allows students to learn content at their leisure and collaborate with their peers and professors through digital dialogue. Then, in an integrated, synchronous online classroom setting, they are able to put what they have learned into practice.
Fox School’s Video Vault, a collection of more than 1,400 academic videos produced by Fox faculty, is a vital resource of the program, according to Dr. Darin Kapanjie, the Academic Director of the Fox School Online MBA program. The Video Vault features a searchable archive with HD-quality, mobile-friendly, transcribed videos that are engaging for the student.
“This ranking by U.S. News & World Report is a testament to the Fox School’s dedication to offering the finest educational experience to those who, for any number of reasons, cannot physically attend traditional classes,” Kapanjie said. “While other online programs may rely on third-party providers for program delivery, Fox’s advantage lies in providing the same academic experience, faculty access and student support as any other program on campus. We have invested in the resources necessary for delivering a top-notch learning environment that fosters collaboration and community with academic excellence at our core.”
Merit scholarships are available, as are scholarship-incentive programs for Temple alumni and for corporate partners that have two or more employees simultaneously enrolled in the Fox Online MBA program. Financial aid counseling is offered to all students, and the Fox School and Temple University support the Yellow Ribbon Program for military personnel and veterans.
