Surge in MBA Applications: Economic Uncertainty or Evolving Business Landscape?

  • A new report reveals an 11% increase in MBA applications between 2023 and 2024, following two years of decline.
  • Full-time MBAs saw the largest growth, with 80% of two-year programs worldwide experiencing application increases.
  • Historically, MBA application trends have been counter-cyclical to the U.S. economy, indicating a possible economic downturn.
  • The rise in applications is attributed to economic uncertainty and a more competitive job market, leading individuals to seek further education.
  • Despite the increase in applications, top business schools like Harvard have not necessarily increased their class sizes.

Colleges are the best place to be in during a recession/downturn. Also, MBA (from good colleges) will never go out of vogue.
