Fox risk management and insurance program ranked #7 by U.S. News
Ranked Top 10 four times in the past five years

In its 2008 rankings, U.S. News & World Report ranked the undergraduate Risk Management and Insurance (RMI) program of Temple University’s Fox School of Business among the Top 10 programs in the U.S.

“I’m happy to see our program — the only program to have concentrations in employee benefits management and healthcare risk management in addition to traditional risk management and insurance, and actuarial science — receive this well-deserved ranking,” said department chair Rob Drennan.
