Students pursuing a master's degree in business administration cheat more than other U.S. graduate students， according to a study for the Center for Academic Integrity at Duke University.
The study found 56 percent of MBA students acknowledged cheating， compared with 54 percent in engineering， 48 percent in education and 45 percent in l
aw school.
“Business schools have a significant problem that should be addressed，” said Donald McCabe， the study's lead author and a professor at Rutgers University in New Brunswick， New Jersey. Cheating is a problem at all schools， “even if deans at leading schools don't want to concede it，” he said.
The study offered two main explanations for the cheating: the pressure-cooker atmosphere of business school leaves many students willing to compete by any means available， and corporate scandals have distorted the standards of many business students.
据彭博资讯报道，杜克大学学术诚信中心的研究显示，攻读工商管理学位(MBA)的毕业生比美国其他专业的毕业生更会弄虚作假。
研究发现，有56%的MBA毕业生承认有欺骗行为，而工程专业只有54%，教育专业的有48%、法律专业的有45%。
该研究报告的主要撰稿人、新泽西州新不伦瑞克市的Rutgers大学的教授唐纳德·麦凯布说：“商学院教育存在值得重视的重大问题。欺骗是所有商学院都存在的一个问题，尽管一些主要的商学院的院长不承认它的存在。”
该研究对这种欺骗行为给出两个解释：商学院高压环境让许多学生为了竞争不择手段，而企业丑闻也已扭曲了许多商学院学生的处世标准。 董 莉
