Stat of the Week

Wondering how the risk-reward stacks up for the top business schools? This week, U.S. News & World Report released a table showing how average student debt stacks up against mean base salary for their ten highest-ranked programs. Among these schools, you’ll find the fastest returns occur for Harvard and Stanford grads, with debt outpacing compensations (at least initially) for Fuqua and Stern grads. Overall, according to U.S. News, the University of Washington’s Foster School of Business produced the best salary-to-debt ratio, with salaries averaging $105,680 (to start) against an average debt of $29,720. Check out the chart below for more details.
