Duke University Placements: Job Opportunities and Salaries

The placement outcomes for the MSBA and MEM programs at Duke Fuqua show promising results. Last year, there was a reported 100% placement rate, with average salaries exceeding $100,000. Typically, 80% of graduates secure full-time employment within six months, with salaries ranging from $90,000 to $120,000 for MSBA graduates and $70,000 to $125,000 for MEM graduates, depending on location and experience. Networking, job portals, and career fairs are the primary job search methods, as campus recruitment is not part of the program.

Graduates often find roles in prestigious companies like Capital One, Amazon, and Microsoft, in analytical positions such as business analysts and data analysts. Despite a challenging job market, most students eventually find positions in reputable organizations. Additionally, many students secure Teaching Assistant (TA) roles, with opportunities for on-campus employment at Duke, offering a minimum pay of $16 per hour, allowing students to work up to 20 hours per week.
