The accolades keep rolling in for the Online MBA program at Temple University’s Fox School of Business. In the same month that U.S. News & World Report ranked the program in the Top 10 nationally, QS TopMBA has ranked the Fox Online MBA fourth in the country and No. 11 in the world.
The QS TopMBA Distance/Online MBA Ranking, released Jan. 23, is said to be the first global ranking of distance and online MBA programs. The primarily reputation-based survey gathered feedback from employers, who identified the online and distance MBA programs from which they recruit. Other rankings factors, of which there were 18 total, include average GMAT scores, number of applicants, program history, and average years of work experience among students.
QS said only programs offered at accredited business schools that received a minimum threshold of votes in the annual QS Global Employer Survey and that have graduated students were considered for its final ranking of 30 programs.
“As online business education continues to explode in popularity, I am proud of the Fox Online and Digital Learning team for not only being a global benchmark for innovation and accessibility, but also – and just as importantly – for ensuring the quality and rigor of an online MBA,” Dean M. Moshe Porat said. “We provide transformative education. And even as we transform delivery methods for that education, we do not dilute its quality.”
Earlier in January, U.S. News ranked the Fox Online MBA No. 9 in the nation – an ascent of 19 places from its 2013 ranking. In both the QS and U.S. News rankings of online programs, the Fox Online MBA is the highest-ranked program in Pennsylvania and in Greater Philadelphia.
In the Fox Online MBA program, students can earn their degree in as little as 20 months; engage in course activities in a 24/7, on-demand, mobile-friendly format; and collaborate with faculty and peers through WebEx web-conferencing technology.
Merit scholarships are available, as are scholarship incentive programs for Temple alumni and for corporate partners. Financial aid counseling is offered to all students, and the Fox School and Temple support the Yellow Ribbon Program for military personnel and veterans.
