Michigan’s strength as a Manufacturing powerhouse is leveraged by Broad with close to 40% of the class choosing the industry. The base salary is $100,000. Consumer Products, another related sector was chosen by 17.2% of the class. 
The big payday was in Consulting, attracting a median base salary of $130,000 – a compensation seen only in top 10 Business Schools in the US. Although only 10.9% of the class could get offers in the most sought after industry, Broad is a worthy training ground for candidates interested in entering Consulting. Technology, another stronghold of Michigan was the 2nd most popular industry but remained the only industry that fell below $100,000 in median base salary.
Supply Chain Management clearly is Broad’s strength and one of the concentrations. 50% of the class chose the function even though the base salary was $100,000. Marketing/Sales another favorite attracted 15.6% of the class despite a $95,000 base salary.
Consulting, Finance/Accounting, and General Management each attracted 10% of the class with consulting receiving the best base salary ($130,000). The median signing bonus for the latest Broad Full-time MBA class was a modest $15,000.
