The Executive MBA program at the Fox School continues to climb Financial Times‘ rankings.
The program improved six places to reach No. 12 nationally and jumped 17 spots to reach No. 56 globally according to Financial Times’ 2017 rankings of the world’s top executive MBA programs. This represents the Fox Executive MBA’s highest national ranking from the publication. The program also retained its No. 2 regional ranking. The London-based business news outlet has ranked the program among the top-20 U.S. programs seven times since 2010.
Financial Times also lauded the Fox Executive MBA in other areas: The program’s global immersion experience ranked No. 3 nationally, and three-year career progress among graduates ranked No. 4 globally.
“These latest rankings from Financial Times are indicative of our program’s growing reputation, strength, and return on investment,” said Dr. M. Moshe Porat, Dean of the Fox School. “Further, global immersions and our worldwide partnerships afford students the opportunity to gain global business savvy and study internationally, all through an immersive learning experience. These details continue to set apart our program.”
For its rankings, Financial Times surveyed 2014 Fox Executive MBA graduates on salary growth, career progress, work experience, and goals they achieved since completion of the program. Financial Times also considered school diversity, measured by international and female students, and idea generation, or the percentage of faculty with doctorates and research published within 45 select academic journals.
The Fox Executive MBA can be completed in 16 months. It’s built upon face-to-face classroom time delivered one weekend per month, and supplemented by interaction with faculty and fellow students via web conferencing. Online collaboration reduces travel and minimizes time spent away from home and office by the program’s students, who average 15 years of industry experience.
“We like to say our students apply on Monday what they have learned over the weekend,” said Dr. Michael Rivera, the Fox Executive MBA’s academic director. “These rankings demonstrate that our program continues to meet the professional and personal needs of mid-level professionals looking to become senior- and c-level executives.”
