Schools with fewer than 3 hires are excluded from the list.
The nonprofit sector may not be what most people think of as a typical career choice for MBAs—and with good reason. Only 1% of all graduates in this year’s survey entered the field, and the school with the largest share, Hult, sent 5.8% of its class into the arena. But the pay isn’t always low. The median salary of nonprofit hires from UC-Berkeley’s school was $140,000.
