Great news for EMBA grads! The 2022-2023 EMBAC Student Exit Survey revealed that EMBA graduates received a 23.9 percent increase in compensation – combined, both salary and bonuses – after program completion.

In addition, 42 percent of students who completed the survey received a promotion during the program, up from 36 percent in 2020-2021, and 52 percent reported increased responsibilities during the program, up from 49 percent in 2020-2021.

“Exit survey data consistently shows great outcomes for alumni, such as salary increases and promotions, as well as high levels of satisfaction,” says Michael Desiderio, EMBAC executive director.

The average salary and bonus package at program start for students in the 2022-2023 survey was $193,215. By the end of the program, the average salary and bonus package rose to $239,312.

EMBAC conducts the survey to track the perceptions and opinions of EMBA Program graduates and to help measure the return on investment of the degree. The survey included 1,188 students from 36 EMBA Programs, primarily based in the United States.

EMBA graduates also reported high levels of satisfaction with their EMBA experience, including the program quality. They are likely to recommend their program to a colleague or friend and also to support the program as alumni.
