With a six-figure price tag, going to business school is undoubtedly an investment, one that many MBA candidates hope will help them advance in their career.

This is even more the case for an EMBA programme, the business degree aimed at transforming mid-to-senior professionals into executives.

This type of programme, which takes place mostly part-time over the course of one to two years, helps students increase their career opportunities by developing a high-level skillet, expanding their global network, and gaining a significant advantage in terms of salary.

Let’s take a look at some EMBA programmes with starting graduate salaries of US$300,000 and above, according to Statista.

The majority of EMBA graduates can expect an average graduate salary between US$300,000 and US$400,000.

Looking at the list above, it’s clear that going to business school for executive programmes can benefit professionals from all over the world – from big hubs in the Asia Pacific to European capitals and the US.
