Since the master’s degree in business administration first appeared decades ago, critics have criticized the MBA as an ivory tower creation with little relevance to real life. Indeed, many MBA graduates barely set foot in a workplace before they land a six-figure salary. (41) ______
While the number of applications for openings in traditional, full-time MBA programs in the United States has plateaued, part-time programs are flourishing, and classes for middle managers are booming.
This isn’t necessarily good news for family members who may lose their parents and partners to an overwhelming daily grind of full-time work and part-time education. But some longtime observers say the trend will benefit both employers and employees.
(42) ______
This coincides with changes in the focus of_many U.S. business schools, Mr. Goldsmith adds, "There’s just starting to be a much bigger push toward training about interpersonal relationships and leadership skills—the people dimension. "
(43) ______
"We merge those students with the handful’of students without work experience so they bring different things to the classroom," he says. "In many programs, that would be heresy. "
Part-time programs typically attract students who already have jobs. So-called "executive MBA" programs, meanwhile, specifically target people who are already managers.
While 78 percent of traditional two-year, full-time programs reported declines in applications compared with 2002—2003, applications went up at more than half of part-time executive MBA programs.
(44) ______
But there’s another factor, he says; Employees worry about missing out on changes in technology from cell phones to Blackberries—if they spend all their time in the classroom. "They find that they’re behind when they go back into the workplace, " Mr. Gouke says.
(45) ______
" You end up giving up a lot in your personal and social life," says Mary Eckenrod, vice president of worldwide talent management for the computer company Cisco. "You can’t give up at school. You put your other relationships on hold. "
[A] Also, part-time programs allow students to compare notes on their own experiences back at the workplace. At Valparaiso University’s MBA program, 70 percent of students already have work experience, says director Dean Schroeder.
[B] But companies also need people who know what they’re doing, he says. "When you’re looking for the experienced person, you’re looking for someone who can come in and have a major impact immediately.
[C] But now, business schools are finding themselves facing an influx of students who have something unique on their resumes; a job.
[D] When students are fully employed while in an MBA program, their workplaces can act as extensions of the classroom, says Marshall Goldsmith, an executive coach based in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. , "They can follow up on what they’ve learned and get feedback. "
[E] As the economy boomed in the 1990s, MBAs grew, too. From 1996 to 2001, the number of MBA degrees ballooned from 94,000 to 116,000 annually, according to the U.S. Department of Education, while two other kinds of master’s degrees—law and medicine—remained steady.
[F] On the other hand, part-time MBA programs are hardly a walk in the park, especially at competitive schools with reputations to uphold. Evening and weekend classes can sap energy and zap leisure time.
[G] The economy accounts for part of the changes because people can’t afford to take two years off work for a full-time program, says Toby Gouke, who manages engineering and technical MBA programs at Walden College and National Technological University.
选项
答案
A
解析
根据下段内容来判断。下段开头讲:我们将有工作经历的学生与没有工作经历的学生安排在一起,这样他们会为课堂带来各种不同的东西。由此可知,此处仍是在讲part-time students的益处。因此A中的also与上文形成并列递进关系,继续讲part—time programs的益处,意为:另外,在职课程允许学生就其各自的工作经历进行切磋。在Valparaiso University的MBA课程中,Dean Schroeder主任说,70%的学生都有工作经历。
