According to a Financial Times MBA program ranking survey, a 1997 Harvard MBA graduate was earning $173,500 just three years after finishing the program. The average increase of over their pre-MBA salary was 221 percent. By comparison, University of Chicago grads from the same year were earning about $151,000, Ohio State MBA grads were earning $75,700, and Notre Dame MBA grads hauling in an average of $85,200.
Obviously if viewed with your eyes on the bottom line, MBA program rankings take on a new importance. Of course, no matter which MBA program you choose to pursue, you'll most likely see an increase over your pre-MBA salary.
