For the third straight year employer demand for MSA graduates remains strong despite the global economic recession. Job placement for the Class of 2010, which began in mid-January, is off to a record-setting pace. The number of companies scheduling campus interviews has already exceeded the number in prior years. Before the semester ends in April, the Institute will have arranged interviews with as many as twenty-five companies for the cohort of 39 students. The average number of interviews per student also will reach a new high. Half of the companies scheduled to interview visited in 2008 or 2009, as well, and about half are located outside of North Carolina. Several employers are seeking to hire more than one student.
