Business schools are now cutting MBA programs by as much as 50% due to falling demand.
Applications are collapsing and the reasons are impossible to ignore:
- AI is wiping out the white-collar jobs MBAs were built to unlock
- The job market for new grads is the weakest it's been in years
- Average MBA debt sits around $80K-$100K (before interest even kicks in)
The ROI is falling. The risk is rising.
