Losing Money on Graduate Degrees
Bard Content Summary: A new report from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce found that over half of MBA programs in the United States do not provide a positive return on investment (ROI).

Employer-based college programs aren’t just enduring, they’re growing
Written by: Michael B. Horn Published by: Clayton Christensen Institute MBA News Digest Comment: None. Extracted Content: Conventional wisdom is that higher education is countercyclical. During recessions, and periods of high unemployment, people use the time to go back to school and upskill. Another article of faith is that—even as adults go back to school—employers will cut back on their education programs in recessions. As Mary Alice McCarthy, director of the Center on Education and Skills at the left-of-center think tank New America, told Inside Higher Ed, benefits get cut when times are tough. This is why it’s noteworthy that that isn’t happening right now. Against a backdrop of historic unemployment and high uncertainty for America’s employers, there’s been renewed interest and...

A New Way To Save Millions Is To Launch Your Own Corporate MBA Program
Content written Dan Pontefract and published by Forbes. MBA News Digest Comment: None. Extracted Content: On June 15, 2018, 20 employees who work full-time at TELUS will graduate with an MBA. But, there is a twist. All 20 are graduating from the Peter B. Gustavson School of Business at the University of Victoria, and all 20 partook in the MBA program at the same time, together, as a single group. How was this possible and what good came of such a model to the students, the university, and the company? In the fall of 2013 TELUS—Canada’s fastest-growing national telecommunications company—had a simple idea.
