The bulk of the graduates found employment within Texas (Austin, Dallas and Houston), but a good number went to work in New York, Chicago and Nashville. Most of the students (77%) placed in finance, with the bulk of those students going into Corporate Finance, Investment Management and Valuation.
Hiring firms ran the gamut of banking (both Global and Regional), consulting, F500, etc. Some names that stood out include:
