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 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.

A. jobs on Wall Street B. types of graduate degrees
