Fox School
The Fox School is a business school located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, associated with Temple University. It offers undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs spanning finance, marketing, management, information systems, real estate, and risk management. The school maintains partnerships with corporations, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies and engages in regional and international initiatives with firms and universities.
The institution traces roots to early 20th-century commerce instruction at Temple University and expanded in response to industrial growth in Philadelphia, the rise of corporate finance in New York City, and urban development trends in the Northeastern United States. Throughout the 20th century it engaged with local industries such as American Telephone and Telegraph Company, General Electric, and Bell Telephone Laboratories for cooperative programs, internships, and applied research. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the school adapted curricula to the information age, aligning with developments at IBM, Microsoft, and Intel while expanding global ties to institutions in London, Hong Kong, and Singapore. The school has hosted visiting scholars from institutions such as Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania, and University of Michigan, and convened panels with representatives from Federal Reserve Board, Securities and Exchange Commission, and multinational corporations.
The school occupies multiple buildings on Temple University's main campus in North Philadelphia, adjacent to landmarks like Liacouras Center and near transportation hubs including 30th Street Station and the Benjamin Franklin Bridge. Facilities include classrooms, lecture halls, and dedicated centers for executive education modeled on examples from Wharton School, Columbia Business School, and Kellogg School of Management. Technology infrastructure supports collaborations with firms such as Cisco Systems, Oracle Corporation, and Salesforce, and with data partners like Bloomberg L.P. and Thomson Reuters. Students access simulation labs and trading rooms comparable to those at New York Stock Exchange affiliate programs and use entrepreneurship spaces informed by incubator models from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford University.
Programs span undergraduate majors and concentrations patterned after curricula at University of California, Berkeley, University of Chicago, and London School of Economics. Graduate offerings include MBA tracks, specialized master's degrees in Finance, Marketing, Management Information Systems, Real Estate, and professional certificates akin to those from Project Management Institute and Chartered Financial Analyst Institute. The school emphasizes experiential learning via internships with employers such as Deloitte, PwC, Ernst & Young, KPMG, JPMorgan Chase, and Goldman Sachs. Collaborative degree arrangements mirror partnerships found between Yale University and international institutions, and study-abroad opportunities connect to programs at HEC Paris and University of Hong Kong.
Research centers focus on areas including supply chain management, risk and insurance, entrepreneurship, and business analytics. Faculty publish in journals like Academy of Management Journal, Journal of Finance, and MIS Quarterly and serve on editorial boards for outlets such as Management Science and Strategic Management Journal. Centers often partner with industry consortia involving FedEx, United Parcel Service, and Procter & Gamble, and collaborate with governmental research initiatives linked to Department of Commerce and Small Business Administration. Research initiatives include policy-oriented projects informing state and municipal decision makers in Pennsylvania and participation in multinational consortia with universities such as National University of Singapore and University of Toronto.
Student organizations include chapters of national groups like Beta Gamma Sigma, Toastmasters International, and Enactus, as well as industry-focused clubs connected to Association for Financial Professionals and American Marketing Association. Career fairs attract employers including Amazon, Google, Facebook, and regional employers such as Comcast and Aramark. Student competitions mirror formats used by Rotman School of Management and INSEAD, with teams competing in case challenges hosted by McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group, and Bain & Company. Social and cultural programming links student groups to city institutions such as Philadelphia Museum of Art and Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts.
Admissions criteria reflect standardized testing norms used by institutions like Princeton University and University of Pennsylvania, with consideration of undergraduate records, work experience, and recommendations from employers such as Accenture and EY. Enrollment figures have tracked trends in business education nationally, with cohorts including domestic students from states like New Jersey and Maryland and international students from countries including China, India, and Brazil. Financial aid and scholarship programs draw on philanthropic support from alumni and foundations similar to gifts received by Columbia University and Cornell University.
Alumni have held leadership roles at firms including Comcast Corporation, AT&T, Federal Express, Citigroup, and public offices in local and state government, and have been recognized with honors from organizations such as Fortune and Forbes. Faculty members have included scholars who previously served at University of Chicago Booth School of Business, Northwestern University, and Stanford Graduate School of Business and have consulted for corporate clients like Pfizer and Bayer. Visiting lecturers and adjuncts have been drawn from executive ranks at Microsoft Corporation, ExxonMobil, and Johnson & Johnson.
