For its 2011 ranking, the magazine surveyed alumni who are five years out of business school from more than 100 two-year, full-time MBA programs in the United States. The ranking’s methodology — based on data received from the Class of 2006 — compares graduates’ earnings during the first five years after receiving an MBA to their opportunity cost (two years of foregone compensation, tuition and required fees.)
According to this year’s survey, it took 2006 Darden graduates only 3.5 years to pay back tuition. Their average salary five years out of the program was $178,000.
