<p>Median salary for graduates with BS degree was $ 80,000 with highest offer of $100,000.This does not include sign on bonus. M$ hired 20 students with BS.I hear that M$ made total 57 offers this year at CMU ( this included students from other departments also). CMU is truly a great university that is gaining high reputation with recruiters and has an excellent Computer Science program.</p>

<p>is there any data on employment status 5 or 10 years after graduation?</p>

<p>Tepper’s is consistently around a 60k median. It was unmatched for its salary last year. It is now tied for 2nd highest salary among Ugrad Bschools along with Wharton, Stern, and Ross. </p>

<p>Also, the top recruiters at CMU are blue-chip companies, top Wall St, or top 5 Consulting Firms. Therefore, the growth and prestige factor is just as good if not better than the high salaries. Getting into a top MBA program is much easier when you have Ibanking at UBS under your belt (my friend).</p>
