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
F
解析
根据下文内容来判断。Mary Eckenrod说,你最终会不得不放弃许多个人和社交生活。你不能放弃工作,不能放弃学习,只得将其他社会关系搁置起来。由此可知,这是在讲边工作程绝不是闲庭信步,尤其是在需要维护自己声誉的具有竞争性的大学里。晚上及周末的课程不仅会耗费体力,还会占据学生的休闲时间。
