The median salary grew by $5,000 for graduates of both the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business, hitting $155,000. The Fuqua School of Business at Duke University in Durham, N.C., also reported the income for their graduates grew by 4 percent. 

Various different sectors are looking for the skills that MBA graduates often have. 

“M.B.A.s have more diverse types of job opportunities than ever before,” Sheryle Dirks, associate dean for career management at Fuqua, told The Wall Street Journal. Finance, consulting and tech jobs saw the biggest salary offer jumps, according to Ms. Dirks.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
