ASU's MBA grads outpace national average in job placement

Despite an unsteady economy, the majority of ASU's MBA graduates were hired in 2010. An article on job placement for MBA graduates in U.S. News & World Report says:

"Schools like the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University, for instance, claim the overwhelming majority of their M.B.A. students were hired in 2010. The school had an 89 percent job placement rate three months after graduation among its May M.B.A. graduates, far outpacing the national average, and up from 78.3 percent in 2009.

'We realize that job placement and career counseling have become important parts of the educational experience at universities that really want to see their graduates succeed beyond school,' Amy Hillman, executive dean of the W. P. Carey School of Business, said in a press release. 'That's why, in addition to the university's main resources, the W. P. Carey School of Business has separate, dedicated graduate and undergraduate business career centers to help our students.'"
