96% of 2006 HBS Grads Had Job Offers Before Graduation

The Harvard Business School held graduation ceremonies for its 96th MBA class on June 8th. 900 MBA candidates and 3 Ph.D. candidates received their HBS degrees at the ceremony. The top 5 per cent of the MBA candidates graduated with high distinction, as Baker Scholars. The next 6 per cent of the MBA class graduated with distinction.

Harvard's Class of 2006 did well on the job front, too. HBS reports that approximately 96 per cent of MBA graduates had received at least one job offer by graduation day. That's even better than the Class of 2005, in which 94 per cent of MBA candidates had at least one job offer by graduation, did.
