The Global Management Education Graduate Survey is our annual poll of students in their final year of graduate business school. A total of 156 business schools (pdf) worldwide participated in our 2011 survey. More than a third (35%) were non-US citizens and 20% attended programs outside the United States.

Highlights From the 2011 Survey

  • A job market rebound: 54% of all graduate business students seeking employment in 2011 had received at least one job offer.
  • Graduates staying with their employers expected a 39% increase in salary.
  • Part-time MBA programs in 2011 set a five-year record for the highest percentage (55%) of graduates with a job offer in hand. 

Survey Overview

Each year, through the cooperation of participating schools, GMAC surveys students in their final year of business school to gather their opinions about their education and the value of their degrees, as well as  what they intend to do with their degrees after graduation.

Approximately 3/4 of these participants agree to participate in longitudinal studies following their career progression after graduation. Those individuals are later contacted for the GMAC Alumni Perspectives Survey.
