After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools in
the United Stales have started to face harder times. Only Harvard's MBA School has shown a
substantial increase in enrollments in recent years. Both Princeton and Stanford have seen 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 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.
Business needs are changing, and MBA schools are struggling to meet the new demands.
