Alumni Satisfied With Their B-School Education

A September 2008 GMAC® survey shows that a large majority of MBA alumni said they made the right decision in pursuing their graduate business education, a trend that has remained relatively stable over the past six years.

The chart below from the 2008 Alumni Perspectives Survey Report shows the percentage of alumni from the class of 2008 who reported they definitely made the right decisions by the type of program from which they graduated. Graduates of full-time, part-time, and executive MBA programs were not significantly different in terms of satisfaction with their decision to pursue the degree or at the school they chose to attend. Although more than half indicated they definitely made the right decision, part-time MBA graduates were less likely than their full-time and executive MBA counterparts to feel they definitely made the right decision in terms of the program type in which they enrolled and the area in which they concentrated their studies.
