The Fox School of Business will open a new location in Conshohocken for its part-time master’s program in Fall 2018.

The program was created to make earning a master’s degree more accessible for students living in suburban areas outside Philadelphia, as well as to pilot a curriculum combining face-to-face and online learning, writes Alyssa Biederman for temple-news.com

About 40 MBA students will be enrolled in the program, which will be partially taught at The Workshop Mercantile, a professional education company in the Philadelphia suburb.

The program targets mature students living outside the city, said Darin Kapanjie, the director of the program and a statistical science professor.

“We see a demand, and we’re trying to serve it,” Kapanjie said.

Students in the part-time program will complete their first year of coursework in person in Conshohocken. Then, students will complete their electives and concentration-specific classes on Fox’s online MBA platform, to later return to Conshohocken for an in-person capstone, according to a university release.

The Fox School of Business Dean Moshe Porat said the relocation of the MBA program to Center City in 2014 left a gap for programs in the western Philadelphia suburbs.

“We can now provide access to our program for professionals who are working at companies and in corporate headquarters that are located in this vicinity,” Porat said.
