The MBA Programs with which could boast of the highest number of alumni who are most\u00a0satisfied with the skills they picked up in their Alma matter was recently the subject of a study\u00a0by Forbes. Graduates of the year 2010 were considered, a distressing period of time for job\u00a0seekers in the wake of the Global Recession fallout.<\/p>\n
In spite of the less than bright career prospects, at least in the short run, MBA graduates from\u00a0the elite schools were hardly affected by it. As a matter of fact most of the graduates earned as\u00a0much as their investment in the business school on an average of four years. In the calculations\u00a0of the study not only the tuition fees but the two years of lost salary was considered by them.The figures stand for the top ranking 25 schools as featured by the Best Business Schools in\u00a02015 as conducted by Forbes. The total compensation on an average stood at $169,000 barely\u00a0five years of completion of their MBA program.<\/p>\n
However it is quite well known that satisfaction and financial prosperity are not eternal\u00a0companions. Columbia, Harvard and Wharton graduates stood among the top four as far as\u00a0salaries are concerned. However they seemed to be an unhappy lot as these p[articular alumniof these prestigious institutions rank the satisfaction that they derives from their jobs amongst\u00a0the bottom half of the top 50 ranked schools.The survey consisted of no less 17,400 graduates from 2010 MBA pass outs. The survey is\u00a0conducted biennially and took feedback from in excess of 4,000 alumni. We not only enquired\u00a0about their ROI or return on investment, the study also examined how satisfied the students\u00a0were with their graduation programs and how suitable their schools prepared them for current\u00a0jobs in relative to other programs.<\/p>\n
The business school that has the highest number of graduates who are satisfied the most with\u00a0their business schools is the \u201cDarden School of Business\u201d belonging to the Univesity of Virginia.<\/p>\n
The school was placed fifth in terms of satisfaction of jobs and tops the list for both preparation\u00a0and education. Darden graduates were placed in companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Boston\u00a0Consulting Group, Bain and Co. and even PWC or Pricewaterhouse Coopers. Almost 33% of the\u00a0Darden class of 2014 took up a job as in the field of consulting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
