Career Outcomes

We surveyed recent alumni to find out how the MSEM program delivers professional and personal impact, and the data is impressive: 95% said they'd recommend the program to colleagues looking to take their careers to the next level. Why? Career acceleration. Strong earnings growth. Enhanced career mobility. Altogether, the Tufts MSEM program develops a unique combination of business acumen and leadership skills specifically for forward-thinking professionals.

Over half of MSEM students are promoted before they even graduate, and that success only continues to grow after graduation. Alumni from the last five years report significant enhancement of their key leadership and management competencies. As a result, graduates continue on the career fast track – earning promotions and rising to higher levels of leadership. Some seize opportunities in new industries and job functions, while others take the leap to start their own company. Whatever path you choose, as an MSEM alumnus you'll see a sustained return on your educational investment.
