Majority of Carlson School Graduates

Since 1998, Aaron Eichler has worked in management consulting, strategy, finance, corporate growth, and analytics. Before his extensive career in business, Aaron Eichler attended the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota, where he earned a master’s in business administration.

Despite the pandemic, the Carlson School of Management saw many of its students gain employment after graduation. Much of this success was attributed to the Undergraduate Business Career Center and Graduate Business Career Center (GBCC), which helped both graduates and undergraduates access employment.

For those graduating from their undergraduate programs, 98 percent had a job, joined the military, or went to graduate school within three months of graduation. Graduates that were employed had an average starting salary of $60,000. Full-time MBA students also managed to gain employment within three months of earning the degree. Moreover, they benefited from increased salaries, bonuses, and negotiated vacation time, which increased since last year.

Finally, those who earned specialty master’s degrees also accessed employment at high levels. All of the students graduating with a master’s of science in finance, and 94 percent of the MSBA students could access employment within three months of graduation.
