The Global MBA program at Temple University’s Fox School of Business boasts a job-placement rate “better than any other school in the country” and ranks in the Top 60 nationally for return on investment, according to Forbes’ 2013 Best Business Schools ranking.
Forbes described the nearly 98 percent job-placement rate for 2012 Fox MBA graduates as the nation’s best. Fox’s renowned Center for Student Professional Development (CSPD) oversees internship and job placement for both undergraduate and graduate students.
The Fox School climbed 14 spots to No. 59 in Forbes’ eighth biennial survey, released Oct. 9, and joins the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School as the only business schools in Greater Philadelphia to be ranked.
“We work tirelessly to ensure that the value of a Fox degree continues to appreciate. Our ascent in national and international rankings shows that our programs offer very strong returns,” Dean M. Moshe Porat said. “We take great pride in providing students with a superb education, incredible services and strong industry connections so that our graduates find the best match to advance in their careers.”
The ranking is based on the return on investment achieved by the graduates from the class of 2008. Through a survey of 17,000 alumni from 100 schools, Forbes compared their earnings in their first five years out of business school to their opportunity cost (two years of forgone compensation, tuition and required fees) to arrive at a five-year MBA gain.
The five-year MBA gain represents the net cumulative amount typical alumni would have earned after five years by getting their MBA versus staying in their pre-MBA career. The Fox School’s total five-year MBA gain is $25,700, according to Forbes.
One survey respondent said, “Temple gave me experience dealing with ambiguous business situations that has served me well from my very first day on the job.”
