Over the past four years, American colleges and universities have struggled to recruit MBA students. A 2018 survey conducted by the Graduate Management Admissions Council (GMAC), the nonprofit that oversees the GMAT examination, noted that applications to U.S. MBA programs declined by 7% this year.听
However, despite this decline, the 麻豆影院鈥檚 Leeds School of Business, is actually seeing an increase in applications and enrollment for their MBA programs. In 2018, Leeds experienced a 10% jump in MBA applications and an 11% boost in enrollment.听
