2013
employment report Vanderbilt MBA
To Friends and Associates of Owen,
We are pleased to present the Vanderbilt MBA Employment Report for the Classes of 2013 and 2014. For the fourth consecutive year, we experienced gains in the key performance metrics we use to gauge success. I am delighted to report that the important measurements of offers, acceptances and salaries, now stand at all-time highs. The percentage of students with at least one offer 90 days after graduation advanced significantly to 96 percent, while accepted offers surged a full five points to 93 percent, setting new records for the program. Median salary for the Class of 2013 registered a sharp increase from $92,000 to $100,000. Our Strategic Plan imperatives are being met and exceeded. • Our Career Management Center is delivering robust, constantly evolving programming that results in better-prepared job seekers. We are moving the needle by ensuring that our students receive highly individualized attention from a committed, veteran staff; the personal coaching our students receive is complemented by more than 60 workshops on timely job search tactics. • We are seeing a steady increase in the number of firms designating Vanderbilt as a core school for MBA recruiting. This is a result of a vigorous employer relations effort that stresses on-campus recruiting by premier employers that have structured full-time track internships— companies capable of making multiple offers to our talented students. Case in point: On-campus recruiting is up 15 percent since the 2010-2011 academic year and the number of companies making multiple offers has grown significantly. Most notable is the rapid rise of Amazon to its position as the most active employer with 13 accepted internship and full-time offers last year. Other firms with multiple accepted offers include Deloitte (8), ExxonMobil (8), DaVita (8), Mattel (8), Nissan North America (6), The North Highland Company (6), Capgemini (5) and Goldman, Sachs & Company (5). As I enter my fourth year at Owen, I do so more convinced than ever that the Vanderbilt MBA Program is on a path to preeminence. Highly talented students, a team of career coaches and support staff who are committed to excellence, and premier employers that recognize the value of our programs and our students, all bode well for the future. Our Career Management Center team is steadfast in its determination to play a pivotal role in the sustained drive to first-tier recognition. The results reflected in this report give us confidence that this is indeed a very special place. Sincerely,
Read D. McNamara, Managing Director Career Management Center and Corporate Affairs Vanderbilt University Owen Graduate School of Management
