The Fox School of Business’ full-time Global MBA program improved seven places to reach No. 41 nationally, earning its highest U.S. News & World Report ranking in program history.
The designation is part of U.S. News’ 2016 Best Graduate Schools rankings, which were released March 10. Among full-time MBA programs nationwide, the Fox School and the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School are the only business schools in the Greater Philadelphia region to have been ranked in the top 50.
Additionally, the Fox Global MBA’s 95.2-percent job placement rate within three months of graduation ranked seventh-best in the nation, and its 3.61 average GPA rated fourth overall, according to the U.S. News report.
“The latest ranking of our Global MBA program by U.S. News serves as reaffirmation of Fox’s commitment to delivering a globally recognized business education and premier management training,” said Dean M. Moshe Porat. “The continued ascent of our Global MBA in both national and international rankings demonstrates the marketplace value of a program deeply rooted in experiential learning.”
Fox School’s Global MBA is a two-year program that combines experiential learning, paid internships, and a thorough immersion in the global business environment. Fox MBAs travel to, and participate in, emerging hotspots of social, economic, technological, and organizational innovation and entrepreneurship. The program features two required international experiences.
In addition to international immersions in emerging economies, students provide professional-grade strategic solutions to paying clients through the capstone Fox Management Consulting (Fox MC) Practice and have the option of pursuing a dual degree in a specialized masters program.
All Fox students have access to the school’s renowned Center for Student Professional Development (CSPD), a comprehensive resource focused on preparing students for entry into the professional business environment. CSPD oversees internship and job placement for both undergraduate and graduate students at the Fox School. Fox’s MBA students have maintained a 100 percent summer-internship placement rate since 2012, and a job-placement rate of 95.2 percent, which ranks among the nation’s best, according to U.S. News.
