The University of Notre Dame MBA program at the Mendoza College of Business ranked 14th in the nation for mid-career earnings of its alumni, according to the recently released 2014-15 PayScale College Salary “Best Business Schools” Report.

Notre Dame MBA alumni reported a median mid-career salary of $144,500, with a median entry-level salary of $98,500.

“This ranking is meaningful in several ways,” said Patrick Perrella, director of Graduate Business Programs Career Services at Mendoza College. “It shows that our graduates get recognized for their skills as they go through their careers, and it highlights the work we have been doing in Career Services to build great relationships with top MBA employers across the country.”
