MIT Sloan’s Class of 2025 showed a hiring rebound three months after graduation: 94.1% of job seekers had received offers, and acceptance rates recovered after a weak 2024. The employment report showed mixed compensation signals — median total pay slipped slightly while mean compensation edged up, reflecting a market that is restoring demand but with compressed variable pay. At the same time, Poets&Quants’ 2026 OMBA ranking underscores rising selectivity in top online MBA programs. Indiana Kelley led on admissions selectivity while other top programs tightened acceptance rates, reinforcing that online executive and OMBA offerings are competing on cohort quality as much as scale.
