According to the MBA Channel, which links the target groups in the immediate field of the Master of Business Administration – schools, companies, and prospective students – the top trends for MBAs in 2015 are:

* On-campus recruiting activity was on the rise and the job market, including full-time job postings, for MBAs grew.

* MBA graduates saw increasing value in their education and reported having great success landing jobs with salaries on average nearly doubling their pre-degree salary.

* The United States and India remained the world’s biggest markets for MBA jobs.

* The majority of full-time MBA programs, in both two-year and one-year formats, increased in application volume compared with 2014 and 10 years ago.

* Flexible part-time MBA programs, online MBA programs, and Masters in Management programs proved increasingly successful for many business schools.

* Many of the most competitive business schools in the United States reported higher numbers of women in their courses. In addition, the representation of women in the applicant pool for MBA programs increased 3 to 8 percentage points over the last five years. The pay divide between men and women, however, was still hurting women’s careers.
