After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools in the

United States have started to face harder times. Only Harvard's MBA School has shown a substantial

increase in enrollment in recent years. Both Princeton and Stanford have seen 5 decreases in their

enrollments. Since 1990, the number of people receiving Masters in Business Administration (MBA)

degrees, has dropped about 3 percent to 75,000, and the trend of lower enrollment rates is expected to

continue.

There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree. The first one is that

many graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a plush job on Wall

Street, or in other financial districts of major American cities. Many of the entry-level management jobs are

going to students graduating 15 with Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well as those

holding MBA degrees. Students have asked the question, "Is an MBA degree really what I need to be best

prepared for getting a good job?" The second major factor has been the cutting of American payrolls and the

lower number of entry-level jobs being offered. 20 Business needs are changing, and MBA schools are

struggling to meet the new demands.
