Best Business Schools (Midwest)
Students Say - Careers
The Illinois MBA Career Services office provides individual counseling to MBA candidates, helping them prepare for the workforce and to secure internships during the program. Career Services also works with local employers and alumni (the school boasts a 6,000-plus alumni network) to operate its campus recruiting program. However, students admit, "Recruiting is our biggest weakness and challenge, since we are a relatively small MBA program." In particular, many students think the school should have more corporate ties in big cities, like Chicago. International students (a large percentage of the class) also say there could be more "assistance for international students in job placement." In response to these issues, the MBA Career Services Organization has been integrated into a new college wide Business Career Services Organization aimed at providing increased visibility for MBA students to companies that recruit at the college. In recent years, graduates of the Illinois MBA program accepted a median base salary of almost $90,000 annually, with a salary range between $60,000 and $160,000. About half of the student body took jobs in the Midwest, with general management and finance fields drawing the highest number of graduates. The top hiring companies included AT&T, Cisco Systems, Ernst & Young, ExxonMobil, Hewitt Associates, LG, Peabody Energy, Procter & Gamble, Robert Bosch Corporation, and Sears Holdings Corporation.
