The MBA Program Misgivings

The all-coveted Master of Business Administration degree, that students feel is so necessary for a top financial or business position, is getting a revamped look by graduate schools, in the face of the recent financial meltdown.

Educators are doing this, I feel, for two reasons. One is as a critique of MBA programs to date, and the other, I fear, is rather cynical.

The schools truly think they may be partly responsible for the calibre of student they have turned out. And secondly, they may be trying to merely promote their MBA courses because of a depressed graduate school market.

Their approach in doing this speaks much about each school. In coming blogs I will go into detail. Stay tuned.
