Some statistics on RE grad programs

I've went through mostly top 20 MBA and re masters programs data and put this table with #s of people going into RE, median base salaries and placement by locations (for all grads, not RE specific).

I'm not sure if REIB graduates are counted in real estate of financial services in MBA placement reports.

Some observations: 1. There are few MBA programs in the country that place more than 10 students in RE per year: Harvard, Wharton, Kellogg, Columbia, UNC, NYU, UCLA, USC. 2. Only 1 MBA program in the country that places more than 5% students in RE - UNC 3. There are 3 M7 programs that pretty much place 0 students in real estate - Stanford, Booth and MIT . 4. There are 4 MBA programs that place >20 students into RE every year: Harvard, Wharton, Columbia and UNC. 5. There is 0 transparency about careers outcomes of RE masters students, Cornell is the only 1 who puts out MBA style employment report. Also, 0 transparency about class profile except for USC. 6. RE masters programs have similar or larger # of students going to work in the industry than MBA programs. 7. Top MBA schools have highest base salary averages, but they largely place to North East and mostly NYC, so adjusted for COL and state income taxes 100k in Texas allows nicer lifestyle than 130k in NYC.
