Forbes Ranks Wake Forest MBA Among Nation's Best for Return on Investment
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Wake Forest University Schools of Business rank No. 30 in Forbes magazine's
biennial ranking of the top U.S. business schools which measures
students' return on investment (ROI) in an MBA degree.
The Forbes survey measured the five-year gain experienced by
full-time MBA graduates of the class of 2006. The magazine determined
average total compensation for MBA graduates in the five years since
graduating and subtracted from that total the sum of tuition and
compensation missed while a student was enrolled in a full-time MBA
program.
The total compensation gain allowed Wake Forest graduates to pay off
their MBA debt in 3.4 years. The average pre-MBA salary for members of
Wake Forest's MBA class of '06 was $45,000, and the average salary in
2010 for those graduates was $107,000.
"We are proud of the progress our alumni have made in their careers and
that Wake Forest continues to rank high on the return students are
achieving on their investment," said Steve Reinemund, Dean of Business
and retired chairman and CEO of PepsiCo.
One Wake Forest alumnus who participated in the survey said, "Very
strong alumni network. Being a smaller school, I felt like I was a key
stakeholder and could make an impact on the school long term."
Another respondent said Wake Forest provides an "outstanding educational
value, great learning environment, diverse student base and small class
sizes."
