The growth in biotech, especially, and pharmaceuticals means increased opportunities for MBAs in the health-care field in the years ahead. A growing number of schools offer specialized programs to concentrate on health care, such as Duke Fuqua’s Health Sector Management Program. Fuqua in fall 2022 designated its MBA fully as a STEM program—for science, technology, engineering and math. The school claims the largest number of MBA hires into the health-care industry among the participants in this year’s ranking. Salaries in health care also are competitive with other industries traditionally associated with high pay—Stanford MBAs entering the health-care field have a median salary of $195,000; Wharton’s graduates bring in a median of $160,000.
