Though the B-school is well-endowed in comparison to other schools, the oversupply of graduates with MBA-degrees and a dismal economic climate could cause declining enrollment and force the school to make some cutbacks, McArthur added...
...offered to some graduates of Stanford and Harvard Business Schools, many observers have compared the intense bidding for graduates of the nation's more prestigious business schools to the high-priced baseball free agent market. If this analogy is an apt one, then Exxon's Max McCreery is the MBA market's George Steinbrenner.

The qualifications looked...

Gell, the program's assistant director, attributed the dramatic increase in qualified female applicants to an increasing number of women MBAs. "The DBA program is fed by the MBA program," Schubert says. One can only hope the administration will be equally successful in using qualified DBA to "feed" their faculty...
