Of the Tuck MBA Class of 2025’s 292 graduates, 92 percent (268) were seeking employment. As of three months post-graduation, 90 percent of those seeking employment had received offers, and 87 percent accepted roles. The reported median base salary maintained the years-running record high of $175,000, as did the median signing bonus of $30,000.
