Early-Career Earnings

One measure we use to determine the quality of a school is to look at the average salary of master's graduates during the early years of their career. That is, everyone wants their master's degree to be worth something, and salaries are one measure of determining that.

• Major Focus - How much a school focuses on business, management & marketing students vs. other majors.
• Major Demand - How many other business, management & marketing students want to attend this school to pursue a master's degree.
