Each year the University's Career Center issues an employment survey to all graduating undergraduate students, including business graduates. The following information is a synopsis of the employment information gathered about Moore School undergraduates graduating during the 2018-2019 academic year.
Poets and Quants rates the Darla Moore School of Business as their #6 school for return on investment. That's due, in part, to our undergraduate average 2017-2018 starting salary of $56,089.
