After two decades of growing student enrollments and economic prosperity, business schools

in the United States have started to face harder times Only Harvard's MBA School has shown a substantial increase in enrollment in recent years Both Princeton and Stanford have seen

decreases in their enrollments Since 1990, the number of people receiving Masters in Business

Administration (MBA) degrees, has dropped about 3 percent to 75,000, and the trend of lower

enrollment rates is expected to continue

There are two factors causing this decrease in students seeking an MBA degree The first one is

that many graduates of four-year colleges are finding that an MBA degree does not guarantee a plush job on Wall Street, or in other financial districts of major American cities Many of the entry-level management jobs are going to students graduating with Master of Arts degrees in English and the humanities as well as those holding MBA degrees Students have asked the

question, "Is an MBA degree really what I need to be best prepared for getting a good job?" The

second major factor has been the cutting of American payrolls and the lower number of

entry-level jobs being offered Business needs are changing, and MBA schools are struggling to meet the new demands

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to

indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions

The history of clinical nutrition, or the study of the relationship between health and how the body takes in and utilizes food substances, can be divided into four distinct eras: the first began in the nineteenth century and extended into the early twentieth century when it was recognized for the first time that food contained constituents that were essential for human function and that different foods provided different amounts of these essential agents Near the end of this era, research studies demonstrated that rapid weight loss was associated with nitrogen imbalance and could only be rectified by providing adequate dietary protein associated with certain foods

The second era was initiated in the early decades of the twentieth century and might be called "the vitamin period " Vitamins came to be recognized in foods, and deficiency syndromes were described As vitamins became

recognized as essential food constituents necessary for health, it became tempting to suggest that every disease and

condition for which there had been no previous effective treatment might be responsive to vitamin therapy At that point in time, medical schools started to become more interested in having their curricula integrate nutritional concepts into the basic sciences Much of the focus of this education was on the recognition of deficiency symptoms Herein lay the beginning of what ultimately turned from ignorance to denial of the value of nutritional

therapies in medicine Reckless claims were made for effects of vitamins that went far beyond what could actually

be achieved from the use of them

In the third era of nutritional history in the early 1950's to mid-1960's, vitamin therapy began to fall into disrepute

Concomitant with this, nutrition education in medical schools also became less popular It was just a decade before

this that many drug companies had found their vitamin sales skyrocketing and were quick to supply practicing

physicians with generous samples of vitamins and literature extolling the virtue of supplementation for a variety of health-related conditions Expectations as to the success of vitamins in disease control were exaggerated As is known in retrospect, vitamin and mineral therapies are much less effective when applied to health-crisis conditions than when applied to long-term problems of under nutrition that lead to chronic health problems

A The stages of development of clinical nutrition as a field of study
