Today the mood in business schools is a lot happier, and not just America but also other countries now boast more business schools and many more MBAs than ever before. Applications have recovered strongly and the salaries offered to business-school graduates are rising a-gain, as is the share of graduates from the class of 2007 who have already secured their desired job. Tuck School Business is now confident that it will improve on last year’s best-ever placement record of 98% of students with a job offer within three months of graduation.
Indeed, Paul Danos, dean of Tuck, reckons that the downturn "had nothing to do with management education" and everything to do with the economic cycle. "All of the statements about the basic model not working are wrong. The vast majority of students say that this is the best educational experience they ever have, " he claims. And to reinforce the point he adds, "Our students are too demanding to accept being taught irrelevant things."
Well, maybe. But a recent survey by Egon Zehnder, a recruitment firm, found that only one in five of the international corporate executives it polled thought that an MBA prepares people for real-life management. When Yale’s Mr. Podolny became dean in July 2005 he found "a growing disconnect between how business is taught and how careers are developing. "
Mr. Podolny reports that students are now much more enthusiastic about what they are taught at Yale and that applications have greatly increased this year, to 2,798 from 1,998 three years earlier. Some of the other schools dismiss this as a sign that Yale is putting behind it years of under-performance rather than evidence that business schools need renovation.
Yet a striking number of business schools have changed their courses in the past few years. Although HBS, which invented the MBA, is continuing its familiar case-study method of teaching, it has introduced a popular new course in "leadership and accountability". After 2001, most business schools have introduced or have beefed up their teaching of ethics, often under the banner of leadership. However, a lively debate now rages about whether this is best done separately or as a part of every subject.
The other big change is an attempt to make business education more practical. Most of the critics of earlier MBAs condemned their increasingly abstract, academic content. This has its roots in studies into business education which were carried out in 1959 and financed by the charitable Carnegie Corporation and the Ford Foundation. These studies argued that business schools had in effect become trade schools, in which "most professors were good old boys dispensing war stories, immature wisdom, and the occasional practical pointer".
In response to this criticism, business schools enthusiastically embraced academic strictness. This, the critics say, now seems to command a higher priority than teaching useful things to students. Business-school faculty members often seem to place greater weight on winning the approval of peers in their academic discipline than on gaining the approval of their business-school colleagues. [br] The first paragraph describes in detail______.
选项

答案
D
解析
事实细节题。第一段最后一句话说塔克商学院去年在学生毕业的三个月内就达到了史上最好的就业率,即达到了98%,而现在他们对于刷新这个纪录信心百倍。由此看出他们对提高就业率很乐观,[D]项正确。文中虽然说塔克商学院的升学率很高,商学院毕业生的起薪也猛增但并没有说是最高的,故[A]、[B]错误,[C]项文中没有提及。
