MBA Meltdown? Schools Slash Tuition as AI Shakes Degree Value
Summary
MBA programs outside the top 20 are implementing significant tuition cuts, with some schools reducing costs by up to 50% amidst a 20% to 30% drop in domestic applications. Analysts attribute this shift to the emergence of AI, which has devalued the technical skills component of the degree, leaving schools to rely primarily on the "signaling" value of their prestige. Furthermore, new federal loan caps and reduced hiring by major firms like McKinsey and Goldman Sachs are pressuring institutions to re-evaluate their pricing models.
