Temple University’s Fox School of Business

What Temple University’s Fox School of Business does

Temple University's Fox School of Business is a public, AACSB-accredited business school founded in 1918 and headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, operating as the largest and most comprehensive business school in the greater Philadelphia region. The school delivers a multi-tiered academic portfolio spanning undergraduate BBA programs (16 majors, 25 minors; 4,632 students in Fall 2023), graduate programs (Full-Time, Part-Time, Executive, and Online MBA variants, plus 11 specialized master's degrees), and doctoral programs (PhD in Business Administration and Statistics; Executive DBA), with a combined enrollment exceeding 6,500 students and 72,500+ alumni across 99 countries. The underlying technology stack is built around Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft 365 Pro Plus, Adobe Creative Cloud, a Bloomberg Terminal Lab, a Capital Market Trading Lab, and proprietary performance analytics dashboards — integrated into a curriculum that has produced 100+ published cases with Ivey Publishing (150,000+ copies sold worldwide). The school also operates 14 research centers and institutes, hosts 7 peer-reviewed academic journals, and holds flagship designations including a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense (NSA/DHS) and one of only 20 Society of Actuaries Centers for Actuarial Excellence in the U.S.

The business model is tuition-driven, with differentiated pricing for Pennsylvania residents and out-of-state students, supplemented by professional services revenue from the Center for Executive Education, Fox Management Consulting, and corporate training programs. Nine graduate certificate programs (ineligible for Financial Aid) create modular entry points for working professionals. Go-to-market relies on a sales-led admissions function (separate undergraduate and graduate admissions teams), event-driven recruitment (open houses, MBA Current Student Panels, Executive MBA Info Sessions, MBA & MS Discovery Mornings), and a multi-channel digital presence across the Fox School website, a weekly Fox Brief newsletter, Fox Focus magazine, and active social media on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube. Distribution spans the Philadelphia main campus (Alter Hall and 1810 Liacouras Walk), Ambler Campus, Temple University Center City, a 100% online channel, and Fox Global Programs spanning 13 programs across 6 continents. Top graduate employers — Vanguard, JPMorgan Chase, Deloitte, PwC, EY, KPMG, AIG, Chubb, Aon, Cigna, and Amazon — feed a recruiting flywheel that supports 92.1% undergraduate job placement (Class of 2022) and 87.5% MBA placement within three months (Class of 2023) with a $101,659 mean MBA salary.
