Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C or D next to the best answers.
After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools in the United States have started to face harder times. Only Havard’s MBA School has shown a substantial increase in enrollments in recent years. Both Princeton and Stanford have seen decreases in their enrollment. Since 1990, the number of people receiving Masters in Business Administration (MBA) 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 graduate 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 degree in English and the humanities as well as those holding MBA degrees. Students have asked the questions “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.
