For example, KETV of Omaha, Nebraska recently reported that the University of Nebraska at Omaha has seen a 25 percent jump in applications in recent months. Other programs in the state have reported similar increases, led by Bellevue University at 34 percent.
"People that have survived the initial onslaught and still have their jobs, they want to keep their jobs, so they want to be more competitive," University of Nebraska Program Coordinator CJ Bachman told the television station, adding that he expects to see even more interest in MBA degrees if the economy remains stagnant.
This high interest can be found nationwide.
