ACCREDITATION 

The Fox School of Business and Management is one of only seven schools in the greater Philadelphia area with curricula at both the undergraduate and graduate levels accredited by The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the International Association for Management Education. 

Return to menu.

The Fox School of Business and Management is the primary provider of affordable business education in the Delaware Valley. Following the vision of Russell Conwell, Temple's founder, we have a special role -- providing educational opportunities to working students (both full- and part-time) from a diverse background who have ability and ambition. 

Through our undergraduate degree program, we seek to improve business practice in the greater Delaware Valley by graduating students who have the skills to lead and manage profit and not-for-profit organizations into the twenty-first century. We actively involve alumni, the local business community, non-profit organizations, government officials, students, and faculty in a continual review of the programs' curricula to ensure that students' needs receive primary consideration in program delivery. 

Our students receive a results-oriented education linking current management theory with practice. FSBM graduates will have a firm understanding of the core areas of business and have the ability to respond to organizational problems and opportunities from a total enterprise perspective.  The BBA curriculum provides students an opportunity to integrate their academic and professional development activities through our Professional Development Strategy course and through the FSBM student professional organizations.

Center for Student Professional Development (CSPD) 

Professional development and experience are essential ingredients for all business students. The Center for Student Professional Development (CSPD), works with area employers to promote opportunities for business professionals to interact with students in the Fox School.  In addition, the CSPD works with students to assist them in:
· Defining success
· Identifying areas of career opportunity that fit their goals and aspirations.
· Developing a package that will effectively market their skills. 
· Enhancing their academic exposure by learning what it takes to “hit the ground   running” in today’s competitive global economy.

             Working closely with Student Professional Organizations and individual departments, CSPD sponsors speakers from the business community, drawn from a large pool of recent graduates as well as more established professionals. Being involved in Student Professional Organizations provides students with the opportunity to acquire leadership skills that can be applied immediately in the workplace.  Students have the opportunity to learn first hand how to best position themselves by graduation day to embark on the most meaningful career path. Being successful requires a balance of good academic performance, an understanding of the markets and industry expectations and experience gained through active involvement in Student Professional Organizations. In addition, the CSPD staff teaches Business Administration 0100. This course is designed to help students develop the basic professional tools that they will need to find internships and permanent jobs.  These basics are the career competencies and strategies that students will be able to use for their working life as a professional, manager, executive, or entrepreneur.

             Temple's close relationships with the business community provide bridges for professional work experience for students. Many of our students acquire internships, co-ops, part-time and full-time jobs. Students work with their Student Professional Organizations and CSPD staff to identify the right kind of opportunity. For more information, call CSPD at (215) 204-2371. 

Internship and Co-op Programs 

             The Fox School of Business and Management has a strong internship program that is part of the School's overall student professional development program.  Students are strongly encouraged to participate in an internship experience, which integrates their academic experience in their field of interest with practical on-the-job experience. The Center for Student Professional Development and Student Professional Organizations work in partnership with employers to connect students with a wide variety of internship positions, both full and part-time. Internship positions involve working in a professionally meaningful capacity in a company or organization that will provide students with an exposure to their major field of study. In addition to internship and part-time opportunities, the CSPD facilitates mentorship opportunities.  Students often have an opportunity to draw from the experience of over 40,000 Fox School alumni.  Together with faculty advisors, the Center for Student Professional Development staff work closely with employers to ensure an effective match between positions and students. Students who participate in the internship experiences often receive permanent job offers from their employers after they graduate. 

             For more information on internship opportunities, please contact the student professional organization for your major or the Center for Student Professional Development at (215) 204-2371. 

             In addition to the Fox School’s Internship Program, the University also offers co-op opportunities through its Cooperative Education Office located in Career Development Services. Students are released for one semester to participate in a full-time co-op experience while enrolling in an optional 3 study- hour co-op course for academic credit. Students also have the option of participating in a part-time co-op experience while attending school on a full-time basis. 

             To participate in the University Co-op program, students must: 

o Have completed 60 credit hours or more 
o Have a 2.5 minimum overall GPA 
o Be full-time matriculated students at the time of application 
o Fill out an application with the Co-op Office in Mitten Hall 
o Attend an orientation session 

             For more information about the University’s Co-op Program, please call the Co-op Office at (215) 204-7981.
 

Challenge Exams 

Although the School does not give credit for life experience, it does permit students who have gained the knowledge of academic course content through non-traditional means to receive credit by a challenge exam for specific FSBM courses, with permission of the department chair, and documentation as to how the knowledge was gained. 

If the FSBM department chair deems that the student has sufficient background, students may, for a $30 fee, take a challenge exam. If the exam is passed, an additional $30 fee will be charged to post the credits to the student's transcript. Call FSBM Undergraduate Student Services at (215) 204-4559 for more information on which courses are available for challenge exams. 

Honors Program 

The Fox School of Business and Management offers a stimulating Honors Program for students who demonstrate exceptional ability and achievement in their studies. High school students with SAT scores of at least 1200 and who rank in the top 15% of their class and college students with at least a 3.60 grade point average are encouraged to apply. The Laptop Community in the Business Honors Program has been affiliated with the IBM ThinkPad University initiative, where technology plays an integral role in honors classes. 

The program consists of a Lower-Division Laptop component and also an Upper-Division non-laptop component. Students can earn a Honors Certificate upon completion of each. To receive Lower-Division Honors students who enter the FSBM Honors Program as first semester freshmen must complete eight of thirteen FSBM Honors courses. Students who transfer into the Honors Program must complete a minimum of four courses plus 50% of the courses remaining in the FSBM Lower-Division curriculum. Upon completing the Upper-Division requirement students may take an extra Upper-Division Honors course to fulfill the Lower-Division Requirement. 

To complete Upper-Division Honors students must take four of six FSBM Honors courses at or above the 100-level. One of these courses must be BA H391. Students may not count more than two Upper-Division Honors courses from any one department. The requirements for Upper-Division Honors apply to all students regardless of how many credits they had when they entered the Program. 

Students admitted to the Honors Program may apply to join the Research Scholars program. Research Scholars work with faculty mentors on research projects in their chosen field. This research results in a senior thesis that students present during the spring of their senior year. Special scholarships are available for Research Scholars.

Students who enter the FSBM Honors Program are expected to join the Business Honors Student Association as well as the student organization in their major. 

NOTE: Students in University Honors must complete eight University Honors courses. These must include English 0090, and IH 0091 and 0092. Many FSBM Honors courses also satisfy University Honors (e.g., Economics H091 and H092 and Law X091). In addition, FSBM Honors students receive University Honors credit for one Upper-Division FSBM Honors course. For more information about the FSBM Honors Program and the Research Scholars Program, please contact Dr. Michael Leeds, Director, FSBM Honors Program, 106E Speakman Hall, (215) 204-8030. 

Learning Communities 

All entering freshmen in the Fox School of Business and Management are part of a learning community. Each community consists of four courses: Introduction to Computers and Applications (CIS C055), Law and Society (Law C001), a writing course determined by the student's performance on placement tests (English C050 or English 0040), and the Introduction to Business Freshman Seminar (BA 0050). These courses are scheduled in a block, which students take together as a group. Learning Communities help orient students to Temple University and will help students make friends and build a network for academic and social support. 

The Business School's "Introduction to Business Seminar" covers topics including time management, study skills, the BBA curriculum, career planning, business and industry trends, and college life. Students will have opportunities to find out about student organizations, attend special events for business students, learn about majors and careers in business, and study current business issues through the Wall Street Journal. Temple University Learning Communities are designed to ease the transition from high school to college. See that section of the Bulletin or the web site: http://www.temple.edu/LC/.

Business Minor 

Many Temple University undergraduates are currently taking selected business courses to better prepare themselves for their careers after graduation. The Fox School of Business and Management offers an eight course (24 credit-hour) business minor to allow students in other schools and colleges of the University a chance to better prepare themselves for work in a profit or non-profit organization. This minor will also facilitate the transition into an MBA program for undergraduate non-business majors. Upon successful completion, the minor will be recorded on the student's official University transcript. 

Goals of the Business Minor 

The business minor is designed to provide the student with a basic foundation in business and management. This curriculum provides for coverage of the foundation areas required by the AACSB (accreditation body) for undergraduate business curricula: accounting, economics, behavioral science and mathematics, and statistics. By taking selected courses from the lower division BBA core, the minor should fit the schedules of students with non-business majors at Temple. 
With some planning and care in choosing courses in the University Core, most students with non-business majors should be able to complete a business minor without taking an overload or requesting special relief from their Dean's Office for credits outside the school or college. 

Program Structure 

The program requires a total of eight courses. The macro- or microeconomics and statistics requirements may be taken as part of the University's Core Curriculum.

Declaration of Business Minor 

Students who are interested in pursuing a business minor should speak to their adviser in the school or college in which they are pursuing their degree. A student may be entitled to pursue a minor in another college as long as the requirements of the minor fit into the number of outside credits allowed in its degree program. The business minor was constructed to allow students from most schools and colleges to pursue the minor within their outside credit limitation if they meet their University Core Curriculum Individual and Society requirement with Economics C051 or C052 and if they meet their Quantitative Reasoning B requirement through Statistics C021. The remaining six courses (18 credit hours) will fit into the allowance for outside credits by most schools and colleges of the University. Students should contact the Dean's Office or advising unit in their school or college to check on the availability of the business minor. For more information, please call Debbie Avery at (215) 204-3919.

Actuaries are highly educated business executives who specialize in the evaluation of insurance and financial risks. They hold positions of responsibility with insurance companies, consulting firms, investment banks, self-insurers, government regulators, and government insurance programs. Because of their valuable talents and expertise, actuaries are generally well compensated, and often rise to the highest levels of management. 

Temple University offers one of the most distinguished Actuarial Science programs in North America. Located in the Department of Risk, Insurance, and Healthcare Management, the Actuarial Science program gives students the opportunity to develop a strong background in mathematics and statistics while being exposed to a wide range of business disciplines. 
Students with mathematics scores at or above 600 on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), or who have demonstrated proficiency in previous mathematics courses, are encouraged to explore the Actuarial Science program. While undergraduates, they will prepare for and take some of the professional examinations given by the Society of Actuaries and the Casualty Actuarial Society. These examinations cover topics such as calculus and linear algebra, mathematical probability and statistics, compound interest theory, life contingencies, risk management and insurance, accounting, economics, finance, and law. 

Students should meet with the Program Director as soon as they enter the Actuarial Science program. In addition to their course work and professional examinations, students are strongly encouraged to become active in the Sigma chapter of Gamma Iota Sigma, Temple's national award-winning professional student organization in Risk Management, Insurance, and Actuarial Science.

  ECONOMICS 
William J. Stull, Chair 
(215) 204-5022 

Economics is the formal study of how we allocate resources among alternative uses to satisfy our wants. Virtually all of the public and personal issues which confront us today have an important economic component. For this reason, the economic way of thinking plays a valuable role in helping us make sense of the complex world in which we live. In addition, the study of economics is excellent preparation for a wide range of careers. Economics majors with bachelor's degrees are well prepared to be managers and leaders in both the public and private sectors. Training in economics at the undergraduate level also provides a solid basis for professional study in law, business, public administration, and the health sciences. 

The Department of Economics offers a wide range of courses. Students should consult with a departmental adviser to see how specific courses can be used to match their particular interests. 

The Temple Economics Society (TES) is the student professional organization for economics majors. Students from both the Fox School of Business and Management and the College of Liberal Arts are eligible to join the organization. Economics majors may also become members of Omicron Delta Epsilon (ODE), the National Honor Society, if they meet the admissions requirements of the organization. For more information about both organizations, please contact Dr. Fardmanesh at (215) 204-5043.

The program is open to all matriculated students in the University. For requirements, contact Dr. Dimitrios Diamantaras at (215) 204-8169. Separate description listed under Intercollegial Programs.

Certificate in Political Economy 
A joint program of the Department of Economics and the Department of Political Science leading to a certificate of specialization in political economy. The purpose of the political economy program is to provide undergraduate students with the opportunity to study more intensely the relationship between the political and economic spheres of society. The program is based on the belief that a focused examination of this relationship provides us with a better understanding of several social phenomena: Chief among these is a better understanding of public policy choices and the policymaking process, as well as a better understanding of how government actions affect the process of economic change and vice versa. 

The Political Economy program is open to all matriculated undergraduate students. Applicants need not be declared majors in either economics or political science. The political economy program provides an excellent preparation for graduate study in the social sciences and for the study of law. 

The program and its requirements are described in full in the Intercollegial Programs section of this Bulletin. 

Cooperative Education Program 
Through this program, students earn income while gaining valuable work experience which can enhance their job market prospects upon graduation.

FINANCE 
Kenneth J. Kopecky, Chair 
(215) 204-8279 

Finance plays a central role in the operation of the economy and is at the heart of the resource allocation system. Individuals often come in contact with financial instruments (money, stocks, bonds, etc.) and financial institutions and need to understand the role of the financial system in managing their lifetime financial portfolio. 

In business firms, financial management has increasingly focused on managerial decisions regarding the choice of assets and liabilities, with the goal of obtaining the highest return for an acceptable level of risk. Forces such as inflation, the globalization of business, and advancements in computer technology have increased the importance of the finance decision making process for both individuals and businesses. 

Finance majors typically have one of four career objectives: (1) a position in the finance department of a business firm; (2) a position in a financial institution, such as a bank, investment bank, or mutual fund; (3) a career in the area of financial investments; and (4) a position with a government or non-profit organization. 
As businesses and organizations grow and diversify, their finance departments act like a bank, receiving funds and re-circulating these funds throughout the firm in the search for profit. Financial management has increasingly focused on managerial decisions regarding the choice of assets and liabilities, with the goal of obtaining the highest return for the level of risk accepted. Forces such as inflation, the globalization of business, and advancements in computer technology have increased the importance of the finance decision making process for both individuals and businesses. 

Finance majors are encouraged to become involved in the Financial Management Association/National Honor Society (FMA/NHS). This student professional organization offers students the opportunity to meet business leaders in the financial industry, hosts career development seminars, and maintains a resume book. Students must meet admission requirements to join the National Honor Society division of this organization. The Financial Management Association is open to all business majors.

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION 
Arvind Phatak, Program Director
(215) 204-8191

The International Business Administration major is designed to enable students to develop an understanding of the various functional areas of international business and to prepare students for positions in global corporations or international public institutions. The skills needed are developed through specialized international courses in economics, finance, and general and strategic management. The topics covered in these specialized courses are not covered by the traditional courses in these areas. 

All International Business majors will also select a discipline in which they will complete the requirements for a functional major. In addition to functional skills, a cultural and geographic area of understanding is also essential. Students are encouraged to acquire the background through elective courses offered by the College of Liberal Arts. 

In addition, there is also an emphasis on language; for without minimal language capability, one is truly handicapped in interpersonal relationships in international dealings. Courses in language and language certificates are offered through the College of Liberal Arts. Finally, to further round out their education, students are provided opportunities to spend a semester or a year abroad in various countries where the University has established special programs at Temple University campuses or with sister universities. 

A student who elects international business as a major field of specialization may find employment opportunities with U.S. and foreign global corporations and public institutions. 

International business administration majors are strongly encouraged to study abroad, earn a language certificate, and to become actively involved in the International Business Association (IBA). The organization hosts guest speakers from international business disciplines, networking events, and career development activities. This organization is open to all FSBM majors.

The TempleLaw Scholars Program provides an opportunity for outstanding students to gain provisional admission to Temple University School of Law at the same time they are accepted into the Fox School of Business and Management. As TempleLaw Scholars, students will spend their undergraduate years in Temple's Honors Program, after which they will enroll in Temple University School of Law, leading to the degree of Juris Doctor. 

The TempleLaw Scholars Program offers two options:

1. The 3/3 option offers an accelerated experience in which the student begins law school after three years of undergraduate work in the Honors program, the bachelor's degree in Business Administration with a major in Legal Studies is awarded after completion of the first year of law school, and the law degree is received after three years of law school. 
2. The 4/3 program offers an enriched undergraduate experience in which the student receives the bachelor's degree in Business Administration with a major in Legal Studies after four years in the Honors Program, and the law degree after three years of law school. 
Students who wish to seek additional work experience prior to matriculating in law school can also be granted a one year deferral between college and law school.

MARKETING 
Richard Lancioni, Chair 
(215) 204-8885 

The Marketing curriculum is designed to prepare students for positions of responsibility in business, government, and public service. The purposes of the curriculum are to enable students who choose Marketing as a major field to develop occupationally viable skills and to enable students who plan careers in fields other than Marketing to understand its role in relation to other business activities and social institutions. 

Students are taught to apply what they learn in quantitative methods and the behavioral sciences to solve marketing problems. Methods of instruction may range from programmed learning for simple vocabulary and concept formation to team participation in systems simulations. Class projects are sometimes conducted in cooperation with business and government organizations, and the case method is employed to provide exercise in decision making. 

A student who elects Marketing as a field of specialization may find employment opportunities in retailing, wholesaling, sales promotion and selling, advertising, physical distribution, public relations, customer relations, marketing research, marketing management, product management, direct marketing, international marketing, or public agencies concerned with marketing these activities. 

Marketing majors are encouraged to become involved in the American Marketing Association (AMA), a student professional organization for Marketing majors. Guest speakers, career development seminars, a resume book, and other activities are just a few of the benefits of this organization, which is open to all business students. For information please contact the AMA at (215) 204-1934 or Dr. Hope Jenson Schau at (215) 204-3806.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND INSURANCE 
R. B. Drennan, Program Director 
(215) 204-8894 

Organizations in today's global economy must respond to numerous uncertainties, including property liability exposures, employee benefit programs, and various other financial risks. To coordinate responses to the full spectrum of risks affecting a company's bottom line, decision makers must diversify, hedge, and insure risks in ever more comprehensive and efficient ways. The technical expertise and strategic vision necessary to manage risk is the subject matter of the program in Risk Management and Insurance. 

Temple University's program in Risk Management and Insurance is nationally recognized. Located in the Department of Risk, Insurance, and Healthcare Management, the program prepares students to identify and evaluate various sources of risk, and to select and implement solutions to control these risks through insurance and other mechanisms of risk transfer and distribution. 
Graduates of the Risk Management and Insurance program often enter the risk management or employee benefit departments of large businesses and other organizations. They may also take challenging positions within insurance or benefit consulting firms, brokerage firms, agency operations, or insurance companies. 

Risk Management and Insurance majors are strongly encouraged to become active in the Sigma chapter of Gamma Iota Sigma, Temple's national award-winning professional student organization in Risk Management, Insurance, and Actuarial Science.
