Learn where our MBA graduates go
The following post provides more information about career outcomes from the MBA Class of 2022, including the fact that graduates are working in every region in the United States.
Simon Business School's Full-Time MBA program is a transformational experience. In two years’ time, you’ll build a solid foundation of business principles, create relationships that will endure long after you leave Rochester, and learn to lead so you can make an immediate impact in your post-MBA role.
Wherever you’re going, Simon will help you get there.
Many MBAs come to the program looking to make a move—not only in industry or function—but also setting their sights on a new city to call home after graduation. In Simon’s Class of 2022, 95% of graduates who were job seeking accepted employment within three months of graduation, and among those employed, 100% accepted offers within the United States. Though we are located in the Northeast, we have graduates from the Class of 2022 in every region of the US earning exceptional mean base salaries and working for top companies.

- Graduates are employed in a variety of industries, with Technology (25.0%), Financial Services (22.2%), and Consulting (18.5%) being the most popular
- 69% of full-time offers were facilitated by the school through its network/resources, job postings, job fairs, and school-facilitated internships
