Careers With an MBA Degree
An “MBA” is more than just letters after your name. To employers, it says that you’ve put in the time to build expertise that might have taken you years to get on the job. As a result, the degree program sets you up to advance inside your organization — or land a new position.
And while an Ole Miss degree is already a great value — as a public institution, our tuition is a fraction of the cost of many private alternatives — many of our students discover their employers may help cover the cost of their MBA, making the value even better.
Of course, by the time you graduate, you can see it’s an investment that often pays for itself. Median salaries for top executives are about $100,000, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics — and CEO pay is about twice that.
