“Contribution to Public Good” as the top reason they chose their post-HKS position.

89%of employers engaged only one

graduate, reflecting a continued trend of highlighting the diverse career

trajectories of our alumni.

Our process: Numbers provided in this report have been rounded up/down, when necessary, to help simplify reporting. The HKS Office of Career Advancement (OCA) collected data from March through October 2018 using a variety of techniques, including an exit survey and follow-up survey in October, individual email inquiries, and publicly available sources. Employment information on 90% of the Class of 2018 May graduates is represented in this report.

Our Graduates’ Salaries

___

It is an inexact exercise to give an accurate picture of the salaries our graduates earn after attending Harvard Kennedy School. Averages and medians cannot tell the full story. As you will see in the following pages, our graduates are incredibly diverse—from the skills, interests, and professional experiences they have, to where they live and work, and their countries of citizenship. Our Office of Career Advancement team works one-on-one with students to navigate their unique situations and help clarify salary expectations and negotiate job offers.

Joint and Concurrent Degrees

___

The two-year MPP, MPA/ID, and MPA programs allow a joint or concurrent track for HKS students to earn a second graduate degree—an MBA, MD, or JD, for example—from a professional school either at Harvard or at a partner academic institution. Thirty percent of the Class of 2018 graduates in our two-year programs undertook a joint or concurrent degree.

Class of 2018 Highlights 93% of our graduates were employed, running for elected office,

launching a new venture, or continuing their education (with a 90% knowledge rate).

THE U.S. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

The U.S. federal government continues to be the top employer of our graduates: 45 are working in the U.S. federal government in

19 departments and agencies.

CONSULTING

Over 80 graduates reported joining 36 strategy and

economic consulting firms in 17 countries advising

governments, businesses, nonprofits, philanthropies,

and political campaigns.

INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

The World Bank and the United Nations are top international

development employers, engaging 32 of our graduates

in 13 countries.

Some top destinations for the class:

603graduates are working in 63

countries and territories, in 33 U.S. states, and in

Washington, DC.

31graduates launched new ventures

in the areas of participatory democracy, gender and racial equity, security,

smart cities, and more.

89countries/ territories

represented in this class

20graduates ran for elected office or

committed full-time to campaign and political work, in addition to those

volunteering in active races.

TOP 5industry destinations for the Class of 2017 and the Class of 2018 were Government,

Consulting/Advisory, Education, Advocacy, and Finance. In 2018, we saw a significant increase in graduates joining advocacy organizations.

“Over and over again at the Kennedy School, I’ve been reminded that public leadership is public service, and that this notion of service means assuming a position of humility relative to the people you’re trying to serve.”

—Elorm Avakame MPP/MD 2018 | Resident in Pediatrics, Children’s National Medical Center, Washington, DC

Employment Sector Comparison Over Time

HKS graduates’ employment choices immediately post-HKS continue to be diverse and mission-focused. Our students engage in public interest work in all sectors and industries. This is evident in the large number of unique employers who hire our students every year, as well as in the policy areas addressed. Sector variance will reflect innovations in technology, development, and research; market fluctuations; as well as significant global events. Although HKS has historically seen two-thirds of graduates choosing to work in the public and nonprofit/NGO sectors, over the past few years many students are exploring the impact private industry can have on pressing public problems.

MPPMaster in Public Policy The rigorous two-year MPP Program prepares our students to understand complex global and local policy problems and construct concrete solutions. Through courses, exercises, and fieldwork, MPPs master a conceptual tool kit that draws on the social sciences but is adapted for action. They arrive at HKS committed to improving the world and equip themselves by developing broad-spectrum analytic competency. This translates into intellectual honesty, a hunger for evidence, and the capacity to extract answerable questions from the messy clutter of real-world public problems.

MPA Master in Public AdministrationThe two-year MPA Program equips seasoned professionals for positions of significant responsibility in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. Before coming to HKS, our students demonstrate academic distinction, professional accomplishment and promise, graduate-level training, and at least three years of work experience. MPAs have significant latitude in designing their field of study and choose courses from a range of disciplines, and many pursue concurrent degrees in business, law, medicine, design, or another field with one of our 19 partner institutions, including other schools at Harvard.

MC/MPAMid-Career Master in Public AdministrationThe intensive one-year MC/MPA Program trains highly accomplished mid-career leaders and professionals to study innovative ways to tackle the world’s most complex public challenges. Our students hone their skills, redefine their career goals, and pursue specialized interests through a flexible curriculum—either at HKS, other Harvard graduate schools, or schools in the Boston area. MC/MPAs come from countries and territories around the world, a range of professions in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors, and go on to become heads of state, cabinet ministers, military officers, diplomats, journalists, chief executives, and nongovernmental organization directors.
