The Part-time MBA at the Fox School of Business – ranked No. 45 in the U.S. – is the highest-ranked program among regional competitors, according to the 2012 edition of Best Graduate Schools by U.S. News Media Group.

The ranking, released March 15, is based on a Fall 2010 peer-assessment survey by deans and MBA program directors at each of the country’s 295 part-time MBA programs, U.S. News said.

Among full-time MBA programs nationwide, the Fox School and the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School are the only full-time programs in Greater Philadelphia to be ranked by U.S. News.

“These rankings again show the country what many professionals in Philadelphia already know: a Fox degree is as powerful as ever,” said Dean M. Moshe Porat. “This is yet another affirmation of the outstanding quality of our graduate programs, including the caliber of our faculty and the talent of our students.”

The Fox School also earned the No. 24 spot among master’s programs in Healthcare Management.

Fox’s Master of Healthcare Management program, based in the Department of Risk, Insurance and Healthcare Management, prepares professional managers for advancement in health systems and healthcare-related organizations. Fox also offers an MS in Healthcare Financial Management.
