It is our pleasure to present the Eller MBA Employment Report. The Career Management team, in conjunction with students and business leaders, plays a pivotal role in supporting MBA candidates as they transition to new fields, functions, and industries. From mock interviews, to career treks, to showcase events, each program experience is provided to offer students real-world scenarios and prepare them for all future professional endeavors.

Eller MBA is part of a diverse, close-knit learning community that is immersed in the culture of a large university. The small class sizes and low faculty-student ratio offer students unique opportunities to develop business acumen and leadership skills sought by employers. The program’s focus on experiential learning, communication, and data analytics provides the foundational skills needed for students to work effectively with leaders and stakeholders at all levels. Our program prides itself on developing innovative business leaders who can drive bottom line results.

In 2014, we maintained our top 50 status and were ranked

#48 with the US News & World Report. Furthermore, US News & World Report ranked our McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship as #11 and our MIS program as #5. These honors speak to the extraordinary value our students bring to employers across the globe.

With this employment report, we are thrilled to share our accomplishments with you and invite you to join us in celebrating our successes and being part of our future!

EMPLOYMENT & SALARY STATISTICS

“As a career switcher, I was looking for an MBA program that would provide me with the right balance of

classroom theory and real-world application. Eller was the perfect fit. In addition to their balanced approach

to the classroom, the experiential learning component of Eller is one of the many ways it differentiates itself

from the rest. Eller is a very collaborative environment and the relationships I was able to build with fellow

students, professors and staff were invaluable. The team at Eller really goes “all in” on each student and is

focused on building the right tools for their professional development.”

~ Chris Northey, Class of 2013, Marketing Strategy Director, Mister Car Wash

“The Full-Time Eller MBA taught me to think more critically about the issues and opportunities I am

confronted with daily, both personally and professionally. Since graduating from Eller I have moved into a

company and a role that would have been otherwise unattainable without the MBA degree. The differentiator

with the Eller MBA is the reinforcement of theory and research with real world application evident in the

business communication and consulting project experiences. This type of results oriented experience is what

sets Eller apart from other top tier programs and gives Eller graduates the practical tools to compete in a

tough job market.”
