LETTER FROM THE

DIRECTOR OF CAREER EDUCATION & COACHING

In the tumultuous second year of the COVID-19 pandemic, our students, faculty, and staff rallied to create strong employment outcomes for MS Finance in 2021. At graduation, 63% of MSF class of 2021 students had accepted an offer. Job acceptances increased to 93% by 6 months after graduation. These outcomes highlight the resilience, tenacity, and hard work of our students and staff.

Our class of 2021 MSF students joined us in summer 2020, when the pandemic was just getting started. Students faced incredible challenges, not least of which was completing a demanding course load while learning how to network and interview in a largely virtual environment. Students rose to the challenge, achieving an overall starting salary average of $72,128 by six months after graduation.

Our team of career management professionals have adapted and improved our career curriculum and programming to respond to the changing demands of both the recruiting landscape and student interest. We are giving students the skills necessary to successfully launch their careers, whether with employers in our ecosystem or with employers yet to join our ecosystem.

Additionally, we have continued to invest in growing the MSF employer ecosystem , and that investment is paying off in the form of newly open doors and emerging pathways to meaningful work. The following report reflects the breadth of industries and job functions secured by our graduates. As our alumni base grows, so to does our employer ecosystem, and we look forward to partnering with more companies to bring opportunity to future MSF students.

We are proud of the success of our MSF class of 2021 graduates and are glad to have contributed to launching their careers during the ongoing pandemic. We look forward to seeing how our graduates go out and change the world. Hook’em!
