Job Market Trends



CSEA surveys our school members each year to gauge the status of MBA/Masters recruiting at their schools compared to the previous year. The results are a glimpse into the current status of the MBA employment market and can be used for comparision and reports to interested stakeholders.

We also conduct monthly member quick surveys to get a pulse for what are members are seeing on and off-campus.
