Our students are ready to be leaders and problem-solvers in an ever-changing world.”

In an evaluation of recent Full-time MBA graduates conducted last spring, MBA recruiters listed McDonough as:

• 1st in the world for having the best-trained graduates,
• 3rd in the world for having the most creative graduates,
• 3rd in the world for showing exceptional entrepreneurial skills,
• 4th in the world for the value of the school’s brand,
• 4th in the world for the school’s reputation for entrepreneurship, and
• 7th in the world for the diversity of the recruitment pool.

“The MBA Career Services team is innovative in our approach to preparing students for the best jobs and connecting them with the right employers,” said Doreen Amorosa, associate dean for McDonough Career Services. “From new technology to aid in the search process to a highly individualized approach, we strive to continually find ways for students to maximize their return on investment in the MBA and themselves.”

The results are based on the responses to specific survey questions in the Bloomberg Businessweek Best B-Schools ranking employer survey, which includes responses from 3,698 employers. The new Recruiter Insights lists demonstrate how the top 30 schools in the global MBA ranking fared on each question.
