Fox School to Move Executive MBA to Center City

The Executive MBA program at the Fox School of Business has called the Philadelphia suburbs home for nearly 30 years, but in that time Center City Philadelphia and executive education have each undergone a renaissance. In keeping with the evolution of both, the Fox School Executive MBA program is moving to a downtown location. The Executive MBA program will now be located at The HUB at Commerce Square, an innovative executive meeting facility at 20th and Market streets.

In addition to relocating the EMBA, the Fox School is launching an Executive Doctorate in Business Administration program at the same location in September. This new program will join the ranks of a handful of AACSB accredited executive doctoral programs, fill an increasingly important niche within business administration education and round out a life-cycle approach by providing an advanced, practice-driven research degree to those who already hold MBAs and are in advanced stages of their careers.

Offering both the EMBA and EDBA at The HUB will allow the programs to take advantage of the innovative executive meeting facility and to expand their market reach.

“We strongly believe that moving to Center City is going to expand our market, particularly into New Jersey and Delaware, and make us more marketable within the Washington, D.C.-to-Boston Amtrak corridor,” said William Aaronson, associate dean for graduate programs at the Fox School.

The one-weekend-per-month format of both programs, coupled with easy access to Philadelphia International Airport, makes the programs attractive to international as well as domestic students.

The EMBA Program, ranked highest in the Philadelphia region, next Wharton, is specially designed to foster international connections. The program’s format, with courses beginning in January, makes it easy for students in any of the Fox School’s four Global EMBA programs to take courses in Philadelphia or for students based in Philadelphia to take courses in many places across the world. A dynamic curriculum and expert faculty with real world experience strengthen each of the programs.
