they may make up these hours by studying at home at times that suit their family schedule.
They can log on early or late in the day and even join live classes in other countries. In
order to ensure that each student is learning adequately, computer software will
automatically monitor the number hours a week each student studies on line as well as

Reading the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet
to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business
schools in the United States have started to face harder times. Only Harvard's MBA
School has shown a substantial increase in enrollment in recent years. Both Princeton and
Stanford have seen decreases in their enrollments. Since 1990, the number of people
receiving Masters in Business Administration (MBA) degrees, has dropped about 3
percent to 75,000, and the trend of lower enrollment rates is expected to continue
There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree. The
first one is that many graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does
not guarantee a plush job on Wall Street, or in other financial districts of major American
cities. Many of the entry-level management jobs are going to students graduating with
Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well as those holding MBA
degrees. Students have asked the question, "Is an MBA degree really what I need to be
best prepared for getting a good job?" The second major factor has been the cutting of
American payrolls and the lower number of entry-level jobs being offered. Business needs
are changing, and MBA schools are struggling to meet the new demands.
