Global Management Education Graduate Survey

Among other topics, the annual survey of management students nearing graduation is designed to gather graduate opinions about:

  • Their education
  • The value of their degrees
  • What they intend to do with their degrees after graduation

The survey also allows GMAC to gather some post-graduation employment information.

Participating schools enjoy expanded reports, early data, and customized benchmarking reports absolutely FREE! Read the FAQ for complete details.


Findings from 2009 Data

  • 91% of respondents considered their degree an outstanding to good value, even as an equal percentage considered the economy weak.
  • More than 50% seeking jobs in manufacturing, energy/utilities, and health care industries had job offers; 43% in the finance/accounting industry had offers; 39% in the products/services industry had offers; and 37% in the nonprofit/government sector had offers.
  • Salary increases for graduating students in 2009 fell slightly compared with last year but appeared to outpace increases received among the graduating class of 2007.
