MBA Focus is pleased to present you with the 2011-2012 MBA Student and Alumni Analytics Report. As the exclusive partner to 70+ of the leading graduate business schools, we are able to deliver the most comprehensive profile of graduating and intern MBA students available.

This year’s report contains summary and detail information on nearly 78,000 candidates—including more than 28,000 students and nearly 50,000 alumni.


We are happy to report that our list of top-ranked partner schools has also grown since last year, including new programs outside the United States. This year MBA Focus proudly welcomed twelve additional schools to our network. This makes for a truly rich global recruiting resource.

At the beginning of the report you will find summaries and charts of 5-year trends in the candidate profile data for each of the following categories:

• Job Function Experience
• Job Function Preference
• Industry Experience
• Industry Preference
• Geographic Preference
• Work Authorization

Following the summary section are detailed reports for each of the above categories. You will also find additional detail reports on club affiliations, language abilities, licenses and certifications, and more.

Where did MBA students live and work?

Generally, MBA students currently attending top-ranked business schools are located on, near, and around those campuses. And after graduation, they spread across the globe.

The MBAs in our database are no different. They are currently attending full-time programs located on three different continents, including 24 of the top 25 b-schools in the US; 6 of the top 10 international programs; and a total of 69 schools globally. And when they graduate this summer or next, they will join the global workforce just like the alumni before them.

Ever wonder where these MBA students lived and work before attending b-school? Our data suggests pre-MBA life experiences extending well beyond their current geographical locations. The current first- and second-year MBA students in our database have worked around the world, including:

• 1. India 6.52%
• 2. China 6.51%
• 3. United Kingdom 4.41%
• 4. Mexico 3.29%
• 5. Germany 3.21%
