| Reasons to get an MBA |

In our increasingly competitive marketplace, employers put greater
value on education than ever before: "The MBA is the most remarkable
step-up mechanism ever invented. Business schools take people of infinite variety
and give them a tremendous platform for opportunity. If you do well, the opportunities
are fabulous. ...it’s a great way to change your life. There aren’t
too many mechanisms around which allow that."
Paul Danos, Dean of
the Tuck School, Dartmouth College The typical MBA grad of 2002 can
expect to receive a base starting salary of U.S. $75,000 (the median). This compares
the typical undergraduate starting salary of U.S. $41,000 (median) and to the
starting salary for these with other graduate degrees U.S. $50,000. So, the MBA
degree carries a U.S. $34,000 premium over undergraduate degrees and a U.S. $25,000
premium over other graduate degrees.

The gap is widening. In addition, through the year
2006, employment opportunities will grow fastest for professionals with a college
education. Currently, a majority of the fastest growing and highest paying occupations
require at least a bachelor's degree.
