We know it’s hard to choose just one!
We asked Fox students to share that one class that has stuck with them the most.
In addition to courses needed to fulfill major requirements, students also have access to an entire catalog of interesting classes just because they are intrigued by a topic.

Natalie Diedericks, Class of 2026
Major: International Business Administration
Hometown: Charles Town, W. Va.
Favorite class: Honors Marketing Management
Professor: Zach Oppenheimer
What was so memorable about this class?
“You can tell that Professor Oppenheimer is passionate about marketing and sees the value of it in business. He is very knowledgeable in both work experience and technical jargon. His examples are relatable and brands that I interact with daily, which really puts into perspective how influential my role in marketing can be in the future! This class is the first that I have taken that aligns with my major and although it is introductory, it is rewarding to see how my interests and college decisions align with a career I can see myself doing.”
Jake Lewis, Class of 2024
Major: Finance and Real Estate
Hometown: Quakertown, Pa.
Favorite class: Commercial Real Estate Analysis
Professor: David Wilk
What was so memorable about this class?
“The course shaped my life in a way where it taught me how to truly think critically and approach business situations from a practitioner's perspective rather than as a student. Professor Wilk led by example in showing how to treat your peers with respect and kindness, and his genuine interest in everyone's success was infectious. I still think about the class because I felt that it made me a better business professional and better person at the same time.”
Anna Boykis, Class of 2023
Major: Management Information Systems
Hometown: Bucks County, Pa.
Favorite class: Honors Integrative Business Applications
Professor: Michael Schirmer
What was so memorable about this class?
“This class certainly helped shape my perspective on creating meaningful analyses of various companies and I think about this class frequently in my apprenticeship with the Estée Lauder Companies. [There were] three critical analysis papers we were able to complete on Fortune 500 companies throughout the semester. I enjoyed being able to understand how to best navigate digital resources for meaningful research, how to create impactful, evidence-driven strategy recommendations and how to problem solve in a proactive manner.”
Emma Storm, Class of 2023
Major: Statistics
Hometown: Stamford, Ct.
Favorite class: Art of Sacred Spaces (study abroad in Italy)
Professor: Anna Tuck-Scala
What was so memorable about this class?
“I got to experience immersive and full of trips around Rome. Anna made the class fun and engaging for everyone, and I really adored her lectures. This class is full of great memories and helped me develop an appreciation for art that I didn’t have before.”
Tanner Valentine, Class of 2023
Major: Management Information Systems
Hometown: Willow Grove, Pa.
Favorite class: Web Service Programming
Professor: Jeremy Shafer
What was so memorable about this class?
“It was one of the first classes I took that felt like a well-made buildup of previous classes. Rather than shackling together random content, everything feels very planned and useful for the future. The depth of information only matched the professor’s zeal for the content he teaches. Super passionate professor and interesting content!”
Courtney Sabanas, Class of 2023
Major: Accounting and Management Information Systems
Hometown: Nazareth, Pa.
Favorite class: Legal Environments of Business
Professor: James Lammendola
What was so memorable about this class?
“Professor Lammendola started almost every class with music: The Beatles, Correli's Christmas Concerto and everything in between. He made the material applicable to our daily lives by thoroughly covering topics like landlord/real estate law so that students know their rights and can exercise them when needed.”
Paige Vogel, Class of 2025
Major: Marketing
Hometown: Bensalem, Pa.
Favorite class: Honors Leadership and Organizational Management
Professor: Mike Guglielmo
What was so memorable about this class?
“The concepts we learned in this class are important when entering the business world, especially in a leadership position. It helped me gain experience through a partnership with a small business in the Greater Philadelphia area. Practice makes perfect in any industry, and this class allowed me to get a sense of what I can expect in any career I decide to go into.”
