However, the critical issue on how scores influence graduates future income remained suspended for Kazakhstani MBA graduates. Using random assignment, the author administered a structured questionnaire for64 MBA graduates and a focus group interview for 10 coordinators of the MBA groups. The analysis revealed substantial positive changes in wages and job position of graduates, and the research examines the growth of MBA graduates’ skills and abilities.
