Master Of Bus/Ad Popular
New York-Why is the MBA-
Master of Business
Administration-one of the most
sought-after degrees in gradu
ate education today?
The degree is considered
nearly essential for "fast
track" corporate positions, and
its versatility in a wide range of
enterprises-such as gov
ernment, health care, education
and the arts-has become in
creasingly evident as graduate
business and management en
rollments continue to soar.
These are only two of the
reasons why thousands of pro
spective MBAs will attend the
1978 MBA Admission Forums,
to be held this fall in New York
City (October 19-21), Boston
(November 17-18), and Los
Angeles (December 1-2).
Attracted by the prospect of
interesting and meaningful ca
reers in a variety of well-paying
fields, attendees will discuss
admissions, curriculum, finan
cial aid, placement, and career
opportunities with several
hundred representatives of
graduate schools of business
and management.

Executives, the Forums are
spective students to research
and compare so many different
programs at once. By attend
ing, participants also save the
time and expense of visiting
schools across the country on
their own.
Last year, more than 7,800
prospective MBAs attended
Forums in New York, Chicago,
and San Francisco. The Forums
were particularly helpful to
undergraduates who found that
a bachelors degree was only the
first step in guiding them to a
rewarding career. In addition,
the Forums guided prospective
applicants to the full and part
time programs that best suited
their needs.
As an indication of the
growing importance of the
MBA, business and manage
ment school enrollments are
now nearing the 150,000 mark
triple what they were ten years
ago-and over 45,000 degrees
are awarded each year, com
pared with 6,000 in 1964. Wo
men now represent as much as
35% of the MBA class at

unique in that no other profes
sional group in the country
provides the means for pro
schools; between 1971 and

women increased by 300%. The
average starting salary for this
year's graduate with a technical
undergraduate degree (with no
previous work experience) is
approximately 18,000, and with
a non-technical undergraduate
