Starting Salary

The primary reason for getting an MBA degree is to enhance one's career opportunities and future income. Students from the best MBA programs command the highest salaries when they graduate, but starting salaries depend on many other factors. When an MBA graduate receives a salary in excess of $120,000, it may be because that individual is a physician, attorney, or a 30-year-old stock analyst who earned more than $100,000 before receiving the MBA degree. Students with less work experience typically receive lower offers than those with a lot of experience. Starting salaries also vary by field or concentration. Students concentrating in finance or accounting may command higher starting salaries than those who choose general management or marketing as their concentration. Finally, there is considerable variation in salaries by geographic region, students' grades, and the state of the economy at graduation time.
