Introduction

Nearly 10,000 mba.com registrants worldwide responded to

the mba.com Prospective Students Survey in 2018


Each month, the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) surveys a random sample of individuals who three months prior registered on mba.com—the GMAC™ website for prospective graduate business students. Their survey responses provide an inside look into the decision-making process of people currently considering applying to a graduate management education (GME) program. The findings detailed in this report are based on responses from a total of 9,617 individuals surveyed between January and December 2018, as well as responses from more than 126,000 individuals surveyed between the years 2009 and 2017.

Prospective students who responded represent those interested in various MBA and business master’s program categories, including full-time MBA, professional MBA, executive MBA, master’s in management and international management, and specialized business master’s programs.

This report—the second in a series of topical reports based on mba.com Prospective Students Survey responses collected in 2018—summarizes the findings associated with candidates’ postgraduate management education career interests, including goals, industries, and job functions.

A pair of previously published reports (a summary reportand supplemental report) titled Demand for MBA and Business Master’s Programs: Insights on Candidate Decision Making, mba.com Prospective Students Survey 2019 summarize the survey findings associated with candidate demand for business school programs and study destinations.

About the Data

The results of this survey do not necessarily reflect a statistically representative sample of the global prospective student population. Rather, the results reflect responses from prospective students who register on mba.com. Because of this limitation, the results of this research study should not be used to generalize about the global prospective student population, but rather the mba.com registrant population.

Explore and Filter the Data for Yourself

An Interactive Data Research Tool accompanies the mba.com Prospective Students Survey 2019. Available exclusively to school professionals at GMAT™ score-accepting institutions, the tool allows users to customize data searches by multiple survey response variables, such as candidate segment, citizenship/residence, gender, age, preferred program type, and more.

Executive Summary

The mix of business school candidates’ career aspirations

have shifted over time


Career aspirations are an important driver of many candidates’ decision to pursue a graduate management education (GME). For a decade, GMAC Research has been surveying mba.com registrants with a consistent slate of core questions to gain an inside look into the candidates’ post-GME career goals. Analysis of these survey responses over time provide insight into how the mix of candidates’ career aspirations have shifted.

For example, over the last 10 years the share of candidates who plan to stay on their current career path has increased, growing from 36 percent in 2009 to 41 percent in 2018. Over the same period, trending down has been the share of candidates who plan to switch job functions (42% vs. 36%) and share of candidates who plan to switch industries (32% vs. 27%). Candidate aspirations for entrepreneurial careers grew from 20 percent to 30 percent between 2009 and 2013 and have moderated down to a consistent 25 percent over the last three years.

The trends also highlight how larger political and economic factors likely impact the mix of GME candidates’ career aspirations. For example, candidate aspirations for international employment opportunities trended down to a recent low of 27 percent in 2017, consistent with the reduced international student mobility seen in the current political climate. In 2018 it bounced back upward slightly to 29 percent. The decline in the share of candidates who plan to stay with their current employer dropped to 10 percent from 19 percent 10 years ago, which is likely related to increased

employment opportunities brought about by the strong job market.

This report, Career Aspirations: mba.com Prospective Students Survey 2019, assesses prospective students’ post-GME career plans, including their industries and job functions of interest and specific career goals. Additionally, profiles of candidate career goals and targeted specific industries and job functions are provided by preferred program type.
