It is our pleasure to present this year’s Eller MBA Employment Report. The Career Management team, in partnership with students, faculty, and business leaders, plays a critical role in supporting MBA candidates as they develop their professional competencies and transition to new fields, functions, and industries. From résumé and cover letter writing, to mock interviews and career treks, each program experience is provided to offer students real-world scenarios and prepare them for all future professional endeavors.
Eller MBA is part of a diverse, close-knit learning community that is immersed in the culture of a large university. We develop ethical and innovative leaders through transformational experiences by leveraging our experiential learning opportunities, world-class faculty, and collaborative, energizing environment. The program’s small class sizes and low faculty-to-student ratio, offer students unique opportunities to develop the business acumen and leadership skills sought by employers. Our program prides itself on developing innovative business leaders who can drive bottom line results.
In 2016, we continued to be ranked competitively by US News & World Report. Among public universities, Eller MBA was ranked #29. Furthermore, US News & World Report ranked our McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship #11 and our MIS program as #5. These honors speak to the extraordinary value our students bring to employers across the globe. With this employment report, we are thrilled to share our accomplishments with you and invite you to join us in celebrating our successes and being part of our future!

“Amazon looks for a spirit of invention in the professionals we recruit and the institutions we work with. The Eller College of Management has demonstrated a similar quality, whether via the McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship (one of the earliest programs of its kind), the MIS program (founded in 1974, pioneering the first MIS curriculum), or other examples. Eller MBAs at Amazon have had a very positive impact on our customers and our business, and we look forward to more of
that in the future.”

“The Eller experience has helped me to advance my career in consulting. Throughout the program, I learned
how to communicate effectively, lead and manage responsibly and most importantly step out of my comfort
zone and challenge the norm. As a manager in the healthcare consulting practice, I utilize these skills on
a daily basis, which has enabled me to seize the best opportunities that exist in the marketplace. I am truly
thankful for the opportunities afforded to me by the full-time Eller MBA program.”
