Earnings and debt come from U.S. Department of Education, College Scorecard (June 2026 release). Figures cover graduates of master's-level programs in Business Administration, Management and Operations (CIP 52.02) who received federal financial aid. At some institutions that group includes business master's degrees other than the MBA, and it never includes graduates who took no federal aid - so these are a directional signal about a school's business master's programs, not an MBA salary report. Schools with no published figure are excluded from these aggregates rather than counted as zero. Full methodology.
