THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE RECEIVING MASTERS IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRAT...

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 entrylevel jobs being offered. Business needs are changing, and MBA schools are

struggling to meet the new demands. (Adapted from Exam Essentials Practice Tests - Cambridge English
