Business School Review


I have done a lot of research but have not been able to find reviews for the Fox school of business, which seems strange. I have got an admit from the Fox school for their MBA program, and I am an international student looking to make a wise decision if it is a good school with a competitive cohort, good faculty and if the fox school has a good reputation with the employers in the US. Please help!

Post-MBA employment seems very low, at 73.7% according to UN News.

Greetings Duncan, thank you so much for your feedback. So I did find a lot of reviews for the Fox school of business, but a not of feedback for their MBA program by the students from the school. And yes, this figure of 73.7% does seem very low, but I have been told that one can also bank on networking opportunities with all temple university alumnis and find employment possibilities, which looks like a big pool to tap into. The school also does not release an MBA class profile for it's MBA students, it also has a very small class size(50-60 students), so not a lot of data points to pick up from as well. Hence need your feedback for what your general perception about the school is.

Of course it's true that any MBA, even a below average one, will open up **possibilities** of networking and employment. There are rankings with data, as I mentioned. They don't suggest to me that it's a good school for the average person on this board, who is looking for higher than average odds of placement and international mobility.

But, really, read those discussions for some good comments by Ayon and others.

The school was involved in a scandal a few years ago where they were found to have falsified data for MBA rankings. They said they have gotten rid of the bad apples who were responsible, but keep in mind that this has happened and to some degree was part of the culture.
