BUSINESS schools in the United States may be seeing declines in MBA applications, but the picture in Singapore is less clear-cut.
In a study of 49 US business schools, 38 saw applications fall from 2017 to 2018 - including nine of the top 10 schools. This year, many US MBA (Master of Business Administration) programmes saw declines again, many by double-digit rates, despite near-record starting pay and placement rates for graduates.
